You dont have to disconnect the bell housing to remove the tranny. The tranny actually disconnects from the bellhousing. If you go this route, you have to pull the tranny away from the bellhousing about 5 inches, then remove the 2 10mm bolts holding the slave on. Check some of the clutch install guides so you can see pics. Installuniversity.com has some.

the tranny tends to get stuck, almost fused to the motor... esp if its the first time its being pulled. just make sure you get all the bolts out, put a support under the trans, and pull/shake it like a ****. tho i wouldnt recommend it unless you really know what ur doing, what i actually do split it off was work an old machete (yes, machete) into the seam. just keep in mind there are gonna be 2 dowel pins.

I always separate trans from the bell then take the bell of the motor. trans comes out easier that way. Whoever a lot of times the bell will fuse to the motor on the dowel pins and is a PITA to get off

If its the first time I bet its the dowel pins that are giving the hard time. Mine was a pita the first time too
