so assuming i can get it moving, once the pressure plate comes off (and down to get out) it will make the bolts visible to remove the flywheel. Once that's off - then I will be able to get to the bolts that hold the bell-housing on.

Sounds like that's my next project - to finally free this thing up one way or another.

Question though, the book talks about a "clutch pilot tool K-411" to support the clutch assembly during removal. What could I use in place of that? (I used the carriage bolts with the heads cut off for the transmission guide pins thanks to someone on this site). Is there anything I could use, or do I really need one? Just wondering.
