Bellhousing Stuck OK im installing a new clutch-flywheel-pressure plate combo but after pulling the front half leaving bellhousing. We pullled all 8 bolts and starter..I have tried a mallet to loosen it and it will not budge..It will not even wobble..Can anyone tell me how to get bellhousing off.Ive tried the bottom half and top half this thing is not moving.. Thx for help in advance
If it's never been off, you're probably fighting alot of surface tension/corrosion between the BH and block.. Just have to try to get some WD-40,etc and some heat on the gap, while you try the mallet and pry methods. It will eventually work loose.

This was tough for me too. I used a piece of wood (1x3x15") and a rubber mallet. I put the wood against the bellhousing just under the starter where that black plastic dust cover goes. It took quite a few good hits to get it moving. Once it moved I pried a bit at the weep hole on the bottom of the bellhousing and the pry point high on the driver's side of the bellhousing.
