I just discovered that it will not come out of the hole. Now that is a poor piece of engineering by Ford. I had to put the clutch assembly back on the flywheel and used a couple of pry bars and off it came. Then I discovered the new problem. So, I have the engine laying on a 1" square piece of tubesteel across the wishbones and now I have to take the pan off? Where do you secure the rear of the engine? Can I secure it from the floor to the rear of the exhaust manifold on both sides? There must be a way. I have always resurfaced the flywheel whenever I have done a clutch replacement. Did Ford think you didn't have to do that? Is the flywheel made of some super steel that doesn't heat up and crack? I am attaching a picture of the flywheel as it sits right now. If Ford thought it was unnecessary to resurface the flywheel, then I'll just bolt it back up. Other than having the half the clutch stuck to it . . . I made this transmission rebuild into a real job!
