bellhousing bolts are out but tranny isnt coming lose, wtf?? Im in the process of taking the tranny out and i've ran into a problem. I cant get the freakin tq converter bolts out. They are tight as hell. They arent normal bolts so a metric socket wont work, it takes an allen wrench. I'm putting so much pressure on my allen wrench that i actually twisted it. I'm affraid im going to screw up the bolts and the flywheel. Anybody have a suggestion on what to do or what i'm doing wrong?

From what I've gathered the earlier trannies only are allenheaded and later on they had they came were hexheaded
I tell you what man.......
spray that down with wd-40, all over it, then let it soak overnight! Then, set the allenheaded wrench in there, even tap it in a little. Put your breaker bar on it and turn it counterclockwise as you face the head of it!
Good luck man!

Kk, i finally got them out. I'm going to have to get new bolts cause i fcked these up, but they had to come out one way or another.
BUT, now i have a new problem, i swear i have the worst luck in the world. I took all the bellhousing bolts out, 6 bolts unless im wrong, but the focker wont come off. I pried and pried on it. I got the bottom of the tranny to come out about an inch but the top didnt budge. Its like there is another bolt holding it on or something. What ever is keeping it on is pissing me off! Anybody have some new ideas?
