Default 2wd cosworth bellhousing

Hi

Im in the process of doing a hydraulic clutch conversion.

I need to remove the bellhousing to replace it with the modified one
Now my problem is, who ever has been at the gearbox in the past has done the 4 t55 bolts up so tight i cant shift them.

Has anyone any ideas??

Cheers
Mark

Could try a bigger breaker bar or have weetabix for breakfast and not coco pops lol

I feel for you, its one of my pet hates. Why do some people think they have to tighten bolts up so hard!!! As suggested try some heat and if you can get an impact driver on them give that a go.
It will be worth it in the end as the Hydraulic clutch conversion on my 2wd is one of the best mods I have had.
Good luck.
