Separating Type R Tranaxle from Engine Block

I recently purchased a JDM Type R engine and it's sitting on a pallet in my garage. I would like to remove the transaxle and install a new clutch and flywheel. I've removed all the bolts that appear to connect the two pieces, but they will not separate. Is there a hidden trick? I am not familiar with Honda motors.

Second, does anyone know the torque specification for the small 12mm bolts that hold on the gear cover on the bell housing.

Thank you

you'll prolly need two people cuz when i seperated my motor we had to jiggle it up and down a bit while using a prybar in the seam of the tranny/engine. after a few whacks at it, it came apart.

on the bolts it should be 25 lbs of torque start at 15 and work your self up to 25 with incriments of 5 lbs of torque
