Well, I finally got around to pulling the power-pack from the '53, removed the trans. and am about to pull off the Bell-housing. It looks like there's 4 bolts inside the BH going into the block besides the 2 top ones on it's outside.

Am I right to regret that I have to pull off the pressure-plate, clutch & flywheel just to get to the 4 inside bolts?
