need help removing bellhousing from lt1
As above,
i'm trying to take the bellhousing off a 93 LT1 (engine out of car). I've got all the external bolts out, but it is loose, and won't come off.
I see a small hex head (under another), but it's way bigger than any allen wrench I've got...
anyone know the size for this, and if it's normal or cross threaded..?
Or, am I going about this the wrong way and missed something?

The fork ball mechnism screws into the bellhousing from the inside with a 6 sided head, what you see that needs a large alan head is a lock-down.

I just pulled the ZF out of my 94 this afternoon, and I ran into the same problem of getting the bellhousing off. However, I think my problem is the fact that I haven't taken the catalytic converters off, and their braces are holding the bellhousing against the block. Do I have to take the converters off to get the bellhousing off? I hope not, because the six exhaust manifold flange studs are badly rusted, and I am sure they will break. Maybe it's time to buy a set of headers...
Please let me know if pulling the converters is necessary to get the bellhousing off.
