Default Help with taking the bell housing off

I am trying to put my new clutch in and keep running into little stupid problems. My latest is that the bell housing is stuck to the motor. All bolts are removed from it, we tried wiggling it around to losen it, hit it with a rubber mallet, and it will hardly budge. Any help will be appreciated, thanks

I know you said you got all the bolts but double and triple check you got the one's up top they are hard to see and get at.If thats not it try getting a screwdriver or small prybar and see if you can get it to pull away like that.

If you are sure you have all the bolts out then the bellhousing is just seized on the dowel pins. Keep fighting it, itll come loose. I used a pry bar and the block of wood with hammer

Prybar to get it loose than just wiggle it off. Works for me.

Get some wd40 or zep 70 and spray it in the holes where the dowels are, then just pry gently.
