I am having a difficult time removing the bell housing from the block (235) I removed the upper 2 bolts, located on the outside and top of the housing, I also removed 2 bolts from inside the housing, I backed them off until they hit the flywheel, but I cannot removed them entirely. I see no other bolts. After several very aggressive swings of a single jack,it will not break free. Am I missing some bolts somewhere? The block is a '60 or '62 and the bell is a '48 (I think) SUGGESTIONS? Walt :confused:

Remove them, and the bell housing will tap off. They are located behind the flywheel thats why you cant see them. Dont feel bad this problem is VERY common!!
