Here's the deal. My clutch and flywheel won't come out of the transmission. I don't know how it got seized up. Anyone know how I can fix this?

did you take the bolts holding the clutch to the flywheel?? [Big Grin]

Of course! All the bolts connecting the clutch are off. It fuckin' blows my mind.

How did you get the pressure plate bolts and the flywheel bolts out, in order for them to be stuck in your bellhousing??
 
Posted by Curt (Member # 6254) on :
 
the pressure plate is stuck on the studs, there are spaces between the flywheel and pressure plate that you can insert a flat screwdriver into and pry, it might mess up the flexplate but if you are replacing it it dosen't matter.

remove and reinstall the studs so that it dosen't stick next time
