Today we pulled an old 216 from a '51 and I was
going to remove the bellhousing but ran into some bumps in the road. In order to get at the (2) bottom bolts going from bellhousing to block it looks like I must remove the pressure plate and flywheel?

Maybe this is just a senior day for me, but can someone confirm this requirement, or please tell me another approach. Unfortunately the engine is frozen and I can't turn the flywheel to get to the pressure plate bolts....ughhh.
