Default Removing Bell Housing

How in the Sam H*ll does one get the damn bell housing off the engine? I've got the engine hanging on the hoist with the 4 bolts out. Even took off the piece that holds the ref sensors. The housing moves back a max of .5-1" and I can rotate the housing all around (haven't tried to go a full 360 but I would think it probably would) But I can't get the Bell Housing off.

Already looked at Clarks Garage and didn't see anything other that unscrewing the 4 bolts.

What am I missing?

TIA

What clutch fork pin? Haha. I'm sure that's what the issue is. No I didn't pull the clutch fork pin. The link odonnell posted explained it all. I'll go try it in a few minutes.

If you have been rude to it you should get a new or rewelded clutch fork. Not fun to replace a cracked clutch fork after you have put everything back together.

After I reviewed odonell's link it all made sense. I was able to get everything apart rather easilly. As I'm parting the car out and the clutch fork was sold, I got it out and mailed off.

Thx for all the help.
