Separating stock transmission from 1UZFE

[RE3Rotor]

Hi,
I recently pulled the motor from my SC400 in preparation for the swap. Can someone tell me how many bolts are on the perimeter that holds the transmission to the motor? Sorry for the noob question. I think I have got them all but the two are not coming apart.

6 with 17mm heads around the top to the block and 4 with 14mm heads around the bottom to the sump. 6 through flex plate onto torque converter. Its really common for the bellhousing to stick on the locating dowels. Large pry bars required.

Thank you.

I have the first 10 removed. I assume I can only get to the 6 on the flex plate after the transmission is removed?

Going to find a bigger pry bar.

Ok. I just saw the opening at the bottom. Thanks again.
