Don't quote me on this thing, but i believe there are six.  You can get a couple of them, if memory serves me correctly, from the top under the hood w/ a box wrench.  Down below, about the only way to get the other upper bolts is w/ a long extention (live atleast 8 inches) coupled w/ a swivel joint w/ the socket on that.  Then after a few curse words and a lot of time, you will be successful.

There are 6.  The top 2 can be reached with a box wrench from the engine bay, OR all 6 can be reached from the bottom with a swivel/wobbler and a long extension.
