I don't seem to find more than 3 or 4 but am hesitant to rock
and pry the 445 / 4530 tranny any more than I have on the
sneaking suspicion that I've missed a bolt or two...

Help?

There are three on the upper inside of the bellhousing not accessible from the outside like the automatics or A-833/3spd bells, you will have to pull the 4 bolts holding the tranny to the bellhousing, remove the tranny, then remove the clutch cover and disc (6 bolts), then pull the flywheel (6 bolts), then pull these 3 hidden bolts...then you can remove the bellhousing...

Good luck, this setup is a bear to get apart compared to everything else.

Thank you!
I suppose if I just want to change the clutch and pressure plate
And have the flywheel resurfaced, I may not have to actually remove
The bell housing at all?

flywheel needs to come before you get to bellhousing bolts

Yep, you can leave it in place and remove the other stuff...

As was stated before, the transmission must come out first. If it's just a clutch replacement then leave the bellhousing in place. It's not like modern vehicles with integrated bells.

Proof positive that you should ask for help more often...

What a relief to at least know I'm on the right track.

Will give an update - haven't gotten hold of a Factory
Service Manual yet - which I guess is obvious.

Will update on progress and thanks all...

Wondering, any thoughts on how to clean up and replace the seals?

I'll look back through the posts now that I have it out. Came down
with the flu so things are even more slow with this than before.

Really tempting to open it up but I guess a lot of 'edjamacation' might
be in order before I start on that. Notice some surface rust and plate
screw missing. Rear seal definitely blown - lots of gear oil all over
underneath. Not sure how to get that big nut off without damaging gears
in the tranny.

Anyway, that's the report - thanks for all the guidance.

Will probably at this point pull and clean the bell housing. A lot
of this crud is probably from unattended valve cover gasket
leakage over time.

Funny also, I asked Carquest to send the splined pressure plate and
they still sent me the old style - which now I decided I like.

They also included the wrong dang pilot tool, 24 vs. 23.
I checked that the disk itself fits right on the shaft which is 23.

Used to have a collection of tools but they're of course sending off
for a 23.

Someone somewhere said or wrote that extra (& stronger?)
springs can be added to the old style pressure plate.

Feel free to comment, of course.
