KB Bell Housing Removal
GRD-214 Bell Housing Removal
There are two line up pins between the motor block and the bell housing where they meet.One is just below the starter and the other on the passenger side.
You only have to drive them out of either the motor block or the bell housing to do your separation. the passenger side pin hit the flywheel before it cleared the engine block. I used a hacksaw to cut about 1/8 inch off the pin to free the bell housing.
The bell housing will then lift straight up. The reason you have to go up is that there is a flange that forms part of the bell housing yet slides down in front of the fly wheel from the top.
Watch when you put these alignment pins back into the cast ears as so close to the edge of the flanges, which are easily broken.

If you remove the clutch and flywheel then when you pull off the bellhousing you don’t have to worry about driving on or cutting the dowl locator pins.
All that work cutting off dowl locator pins etc., and those engineers from IHC designed it to be removed with the flywheel and clutch off first. What a pity.
