Everything was easy until I got to the bell housing. I started with the 14mm on the starter, and it won't budge I have a 14mm on the other side, and I'm using huge breaker bar on the other side. Any suggestions I need to get this done before the weekend if possible.
Oh, I hadn't used any liquid wrench when I first tried, but I soaked all of the bolts at 6pm before I left for class today.

You might try putting the wrench on the transmission side and the breaker bar on the engine side, stick it out the wheel well, then put a cheater bar (jack handle usually works for me) on your breaker bar. If that fails, it's time for an impact wrench.

You should be able to get those bolts off with a 1/2 drive socket and driver...
I still recommend the impact... its a lot faster then moving a driver back and forth.
unless your 18psi of course
