OK, time to split it and see why the clutch won't move

It took quite a bit of pressure to pull apart

Mouse excretions have not been kind to this

Only two of the six bolts broke and they were from the top side?

The ring gear to be replaced, it neeeded to come off for flywheel resurfacing anyway

Flywheel resurfaced, new ring gear, friction disc, and pressure plate

After a good soak with penetrating oil a three jaw puller got this stubborn piece off

The clutch shifter was rusted solid to the clutch shaft retainer too, nothing in here came apart easy

The oil pump was removed for rebuild since we're in there, rear main seal will also be done

The first bit of reassembly with anti-sieze to ease the next time, hopefully not too soon

These pieces were bead blasted and painted to delay future rust a bit
