Help!

[RapidTransit]

I have all the bolts removed from the bell housing to the engine block, and it won't come apart! My frustration level is near max

 

[99 R/T 10]

I am assuming the trans is already out of the car? Try using a screw driver to seperate the belhousing from the block. They have 2 alignment dowels that might be holding it together tightly.

Yes,99..the trans is out. Six bolts to the block,tried a long pry bar gently. I can't even tap a putty knife between the surfaces.

Have you tried spraying some WD40 on it? Do that and let it sit for a while to seep into the seam. Tap on it with a rubber mallet. If you still can't loosen it, bolt the tranny back to it and remove with tranny. You might have to raise the engine up slightly to aid in removal.

Boxer12..I'll give that a shot!

Hope it goes smoothly.

A day of soaking, and a bigger hammer, bell out and then clutch and pressure plate out!
