Yes I caught that part and it threw me off but after reading the rest of your post I thought yeah he probably is really that stupid to give advice like that, I was a service manager in a industrial shop and have seen all types of mechanics from parts changer to the mechanic that claims he can fix the space shuttle only to find out I wouldnt let him work on my lawnmower, and the mechanic that keeps looking for the muffler bearing noise or trys to find the blinker fluid reservoir, it is smart *** advice like yours that get people hurt and me having been a service manager I have seen more than my fair share of accidents which arent pretty, at the end of the day we all want to go home with a paycheck, and sometimes I was the one that had to call that guys wife to tell him he is at the hospital and when they show up and you see the look on the wifes and kids face you will think twice about giving smart *** advice.
thanks!

There are two pry "windows" on the bellhousing to engine surface. The bellhousing will be a bitch to remove otherwise. One is at about 4 o'clock and the other is around 9:30. have you tried that?

Who got fired?
How did you come up with that?
Try retired after 15 years of being a service manager, and loving every minute of retirement!
What is a soup sandwich?
Are you one of them white boys that wishes he was 50 cent or Lil Wayne?

Geez some of you guys need to start a thread asking " How to properly remove your tampon's"
Anyway, I have given it a heavy soaking of PB Blaster and now waiting for the motivation and a friend to come give me a hand, its going to come down to just fighting it out. Thanks everyone.

Mine was really stuck as well. It helped to have the car as level as possible on a kwiklift and then wiggle the trans left to right lightly and pull/use pry points with screw driver. When pulling, also try moving the engine up/down slightly. Wiggling the engine up/down when installing worked wonders for me as well. It was much easier moving the engine slightly while pushing the trans.
