seperating engine from bell housing
I am new and did the search on this topic but found no answers.
I am ready to seperate the engine 3.0 v6 manual transmission(all bolts are out of the bell housing and starter is disconnected). I have it seperated about a 1/4 inch, but how do I release the clutch lever from the pressure plate? I see no inspection plate to release the clip and I can't see a way to get to the clutch cover bolts like I did on my rx-7. I followed the shop manual links but I cant find any info in the engine removal section.
Any helpo is appreciated.
Thanks..Scott

On my 22RE I don't remember having to do anything special. Almost seemed like it jumped apart once we got the bolts out and started lifting it with the picker.

yeah I guess because there is no mention of that might be a way. On my rx-7 i had to remove a clip holding the throwout bearing to the pressure plate, so the two would seperate.

IIRC, there is no such clip on your t/o bearing. I have pulled a few 3.0 engines, and one of them was pretty hard to get seperated. After I made for sure that I had not forgotten to remove any bolts, etc, I just pryed it apart. It took some grunting, but it did seperate.

Definitely no clip holding the t/o bearing to the pressure plate. The clip that keeps the t/o bearing in place holds it to the clutch fork. Just pry and pull as best as you can!

Kinda unrelated but funny or stupid depending on how you look at it. My first vehicle was a 1973 Datsun 620 p/u. I slammed that thing on the ground, steped the frame & removed all of the body & bed bushings for a body drop. All was good until I had to replace my clutch! I couldn't get the trans apart because the body was to low for it to slip out. Out came the grinder!!! At the time I thought it was cool, now that I look back I realize that my brain wasn't functioning correctly.

Use a 2x4 or the handle for your 3 ton floor jack and find a place of leverage and torque around. Just be careful what you use as a falcrum.
Or have the cherry picker taut and u and a buddy have a defining moment together looking like some clownshoes wiggling it around real crazy like.
