c4 clutch pull/Bellhousing
Today I pulled the transmission on my friends c4 Manual, unbolted the bell housing removed all bolts and wires connecting bellhousing. the bell housing will rock and rattle back and forth but I cannot pull it off because of the fork holding onto what I think is the throw bearing. It is connected to where the slave mounts and is actuated by it, looks like a t65 screw would take it apart but I'm not sure. Is there a write up on removing the bellhousing correctly?

You might try mentioning the year of the C4. I don't know if your "thread title" is asking how to "PULL" OR if maybe you're trying to tell us that it's a "PULL STYLE" clutch.
The year would maybe sort that issue.

I'm sorry. It's a 91. Also, I'm trying to pull the bell housing off to get the clutch assembly out.

I thought I did this yesterday but it wasn't there a few minutes ago so I just did it again.

On C4's with the pull style clutch and the ZF gearbox - you can have a situation where the clutch is so worn that the release fork is at a rather extreme angle, and is essentially holding the bell housing in place.
The good news is that there is a solution - the "stud / ball" the release fork pivots on is accessible with the gearbox out. I believe it's a 12mm Allen head. The stud will be tight - but you can "unscrew" it and that should allow the bell housing to come off. Just remember what side of the bellhousing you're working from - and that you are trying to remove the bolt from the opposite side.
GOOD LUCK !!!
