I haven't done it but my brother in-law says you take the bolts out of thoses 2 front brakets (on the top and in the front of the engine compartment) and pull the engine toward you (it rotates) and then you can reach them.
I must give a disclaimer of "do it at your own risk for I never have done it".

You didn't read the instructions right. It says you must first break you arms in three spots each, then its easy.
I did do them on a 90 lumina with a 3.1L it was a bitch but possible. try them from underneath.
