Can I replace the radius ball bolts without removing the transmission from the car?

Yes With the radius rod out of the way. They can be lifted out and put in thru the hole the upper radius ball plate rides in.

After reading a long post about how to retrieve bolts lost into the dark mysterious depths of the clutch housing. Suggest that you attach a length of thin wire to the bolts before removing and again prior to installation. Secure to the cotter pin holes. Use the wire to feed the new bolts through the holes.
