Seperating motor and trans 5L

[Gunns VC]

Hi guys i have a VP 5L motor and trans in my garage and i'm trying to seperate them from each other. Now i Have taken all the bolts out etc and have wriggled it so there is about a 10-20mm gap each side, but thats as far as it wants to go. I was thinking of getting a pry bar but i don't know how hard i can force it i don't want to do any damage.

Can someone give me some advice? Cheers!

If it's come that far then it will come fully apart. If it's an automatic, unbolt the torque converter from the flex plate and slide it towards the auto (about 2 inches) otherwise you'll end up with a red swimming pool when they come apart.

try taking the weight off the back of the trans so its not sitting on the input shaft as much, works for me

i got it off thanks guys, the stall converter stayed attatched to the fly wheel so i was wondering how i get the stall converter off the fly wheel?
