There are bolts from the bellhousing to the "crossmember".It's been a while but IIRC you can get to them thru the bottom of the bellhousing.They are on either side angled up.

You need to remove the sheetmetal dust shields from the lower half of the bellhousing too. Other wise the flywheel and clutch are trapped inside of the bellhousing.

That's funny......this is an easy one to miss.

I just put a new Centerforce DF in my truck. I can tell you this. Sometimes your dowel pins on each side of your block which is used to help align the bell housing can cause that dude to stick on there really good. I just used a gasket scraper and a little force to work/pry it off. It was pretty easy but not something I could just do with my hands.
