: I bought a kit with the rubber ball that goes over the radius rod ball.It also includes cast upper and lower "clamps" and two bolts with the special notched head.My question is can Ireplace these bolts without removing the engine/cluthhousing from the car??

You can remove these bolts by first removing the long pin which goes in one side of the housing just above the bolts and out the other side (remove the small cotter first).Then pull down the ball and put a 2X4 spacer between it and the oil pan to hold it down.Then remove the old upper ball socket plate and you can reach inside the hole into the housing to remove the bolts.Replace the bolts in reverse order and put the new cast housing on them.
Good luck.
