[DML] Re: Getting ready to drop engine back in...some questions

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was able to activate the clutch fork with a 30-inch pry bar against 
one of the casting bosses on the bellhousing. You'll never be able to 
compress the pressure plate spring directly by hand.

Put the trans in any gear, while you are prying on the fork have 
someone attempt to turn both axle flanges together. WHen they can 
turn them you have released the clutch.
