I'll come back and show clutch and flywheel removal, as well as pilot bearing. I've got tool recommendations for a flywheel holder *and* for a blind hole bearing puller

I'm disinclined to claim that this minute amount of corrosion caused *all* my difficulty, BUT it was *most definitely* this pin. Of which there are two. They keep the transmission from falling on you when unbolting.

After some.. 10-15 minutes of fearful, full-strength wiggling (which shifted to become more strategic over time) Here you see the shift fork and within it, on that shaft there, the filthy throw-out bearing.

I actually swapped these jack stands out for my bigger ones. The transmission is roughly 15" tall. Front to back, I'm roughly 8" thick in the torso (where the transmission would be sat), so add that to make 23", and then my creeper is between 1 and 2.... I wanted around 24" of clearance, and I think I hit or was close to my mark. fitting it out was NOT the issue.

That's where it fit in my fancy bolt-tracker device.. which was later foiled by my forgetting which way I was facing when removing fasteners... This one, at least, I have this picture record of. But many, if not all, are unequal lengths so..

And here's how I had to remove that horrible second bolt. Impact, impact extension ~10", deep well impact socket, impact wobble adapter... compact impact.. There are likely other ways.

This bolt... Is one of the six that holds the transmission on. And it is the worst. I hate it. So. This is number 2. Number 1 was pulled from up top, before i took pictures..
