Merle Coggins Posted December 21, 2007 Report Posted December 21, 2007 Your engine is currently out of the truck, yes? It going to depend on how much your allignment pins protrude from the block. Recently I was able to remove a bell housing from an engine without removing the clutch/flywheel. Once we got the bolts out it came off of the pins and we could lift if up over the top of the flywheel. If the pins cause a clearance issue, try knocking them into the block far enough for installation. Then once you have the bolts started, drive them back into place and tighten the bolts. If your engine is in the truck, this would be nearly impossible, but on a bench or engine stand, I believe it's quite possible. Merle Quote
