Okay I got some problem's?

Okay so I was taking my 12a appart and I cant get the front main housing seperated from the rotar housing? I have taken evey single bolt I can possable take off accept the flywheel and the rear housing. Is this where i'm going wrong should I go backwards forwards or forwards backwards?

you should take the flywheel off and start there. you are doing it backwards.

There's a whole lot of bolts that need to be taken off that are behind the flywheel. Those tension bolts hold the engine together. You've gotta take it apart from the back to the front.

oh, and dont for get the dowel pins. to remove them, screw one of your lug bolts into the dowel pin (yes, they're threaded) and give er a yank. should pop right out. note:dont screw it in all the way. just a few threads.
