It depends on the exact location of the fork. My car is a converted '85, but when I had the LT1 pressure plate, the fork was at such an angle that I could only remove the bellhousing by first undoing the 12mm hex pivot stud. This made it a bitch as I had to reinstall the pivot stud and fork AFTER putting the bellhousing on. My current setup, 85 with a ZR1 pressure plate, I believe gives a fork angle more similar to that of a stock stock LT1/4 car. With this setup, I can remove the fork and bellhousing without removing the pivot ball. Brian Cunningham's post seems to confirm this. Anyways.... just try pulling the bellhousing off while sliding the fork off the t/o bearing. If that's not possible, then just turn the pivot ball in most of the way. If that still doesn't do it, then turn the pivot ball all the way in till it comes loose. It's just that it's a bitch to start the pivot ball and fork from the backside of an installed bellhousing, so you'll want to avoid that extra step if possible. Also the fork is pretty damn thick steel, I think you'd have to be a real dumbass to bend it. |
