UPDATE: I have it apart.. (mostly)
Got the thing apart today. Trans came right off with no issues. Bellhousing was another story. Since I have never removed the trans/clutch/pilot bushing I printed up three different things on how to do it, and was trying to "follow to the letter" the instructions given by people who know much more then I. Well - after over an hour of tearing the heck out of my shoulder and who knows what else trying to wedge screwdrivers/prybars in between the BH and block to get it off - I discovered it helps a LOT if you take that half moon flywheel shield off FIRST...
I guess that should have been somewhat self-explanatory but once again I am trying to do things by the book this time...
My next problem is that I cannot get the pilot bushing out. Got a puller, and broke 3 different setups on it - don't think the thing budged. Which A: makes me wonder if the bushing was the problem or is it the Throwout..
And B: now that I have scarred up the pilot bushing - I HAVE to get it out - any suggestions?
Gonna throw up some pics - might take two posts. Please let me know if anyone sees any issues in the pics. I have also sent them to Jim Jandik at Powertorque Systems for his expertise. He has been quite helpful on the phone..
