A4 Removal help Im pullin my trans and i have everything undone and i cant seem to get the bell housing seperated from the motor. the dowl pins are rusted, but i dont know if that is the problem, i also have edelbrock headers and one of the primarys run right beside the bel housing, do i have to remove the header?? any body ran into this problem before?? Any help would be appreciated
You shouldn't have to remove your headers. The alignment pins are just corroded, it's fairly common. Mine was a real bitch to separate, it took some major prying with a 24" prybar. Keep at it, it'll budge eventually.

The headers can be an issue when it is loose, you'll have to judge that for yourself.
How many bellhousing bolts did you remove?
The rusted dowels can be the cause of the problem... spray some penetrating oil on them and let them sit for a bit. It usually requires a bit of prying to get one loose if it has been in place for a few years.
Hope that helps.
