I removed some of the vacuum hoses and valves from behind the cam  
but I haven’t removed the valve cover yet.

There is a harness loom and some exhaust pipes that run along the back  
making it that much of a pain to reach the bolt.

Gonna start taking a few more things apart for more room and see where  
I can go from there.

I don’t get it, Can you take a pic?

I have never seen anyone else have such a big issue with this bolt…

Well I had alex come by this afternoon. Spent a few hours and we got  
the bellhousing off. He did it all with his trusty 14mm wrench.

Guess now comes the fun part of taking the clutch/flywheel off and  
putting it all back in and hoping it all works once in.

I’ll have Alex come by for that as well. Thanks man. :grouphug:
