Hi Darren,

You didn't state which bellhousing/engine combo you are using but if it's an R30 bellhousing connected to a 302, these pictures of the two pieces separated may help.

Without seeing it it's difficult to advise why they are not separating, but double-double check you have'nt left any connecting bolts in the bellhousing. The adapter plate stays bolted to the engine block.

Also try giving the box a good 'wiggle' by hand. hope this helps!
