You have to pry it apart. There are spots to do it at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions. Just try to keep the pressure even and it should come apart.

Make SURE all of the bolts are out. There are a couple that are hard to see and even harder to get to.

8 in tranny to bell and im pretty sure there are 8 in bell to motor too. There are 2 steel dowl pins at 3 and 9 between the block and bell which tend to sieze up your gonna have to pry them apart
