Yea the bolt removal is by far the easiest way. I took maybe 8 min to get them all out.

 

I got pissed as hell when mine wouldnt come apart and said fuckit the whole things coming out. Just have a look at my sig. Most people say you need a load leveler and two people to pull the whole thing. I had neither and the whole thing still came out real easy.

 

LOL! The week after i blow my engine i'm going to go through all that on my FD.. DAMMIT!!
