Easy one to do, though clearance is tight on bell housing bolts, just take out bolts then support, lower rear of box down, comes out easy enough, but get car nice and high to start with on ramps.

A lot of people overtighten things, it's to give successive owners something to do!!
As it's Merkur, it's a lima isn't it ?, have you done the volvo head conversion to 16v ?
