becareful cause you can destroy your bellhousing very fast if doing it wrong. i would soak it if possible. the aluminum and the metal dowel dont mess well. if you have a bensomatic torch that would help also but make sure there isnt any residue from soaking it or youll have a crispy truck
ASk Chick about this one. He forgot the very bottom bolt in his NV3500 and he was prying on that bitty forever til I saw it.
When you put it back together put antiseize on the face of the bellhousing and around the dowel pins so you never have this problem again.
Holy 3 year old thread Batman!Quote:
