Just like the title says I can't get them to seperate, I got the 3 torq converter bolts and all the bell housing bolts and yes I got the one facing backwards.
 


motor mounts ;) use a wrench or screwdriver by the converter opening there are dowl pins in there "holding" it in place
 
If you got the backwards facing bolt, then you have the bracket between the engine and trans off by the power steering pump too?
I wouldn't force it it should just fall apart in your lap something is still holding it together.

Bracket by power steering pump no that must be it i will un bolt it when i get home never thought there would be one way over there lol
 
How did you get the backwards bolt out btw? damn must have been a pain. If you take that bracket off first you can take about a 2' of extension on a 18mm and zip the "backwards" bolt right out.
 


Also a lil tip... Put a piece of wood under the trans pan and jack it up to keep it level and maybe raise the pass side a little higher. When you undo the bracket under the PS pump, then break the bell house loose from the motor the trans will want to "fall" into the motor. If you raise the trans back up, it will make things a lot easier and your flex won't drag on the bell housing as much.
 


Then why seperate them in the engine bay and pull seperately? That's extra work.

FWIW you don't need to pull it to degrease. You can do 95% of the bay with the trans in place.
