prangy

How is everyone, so about a month ago I asked how to remove the fork that goes into the bell housing for the clutch cable. I have been really busy and did not get a chance to do it, but before I do it, do I put the pry bar on the side closer to the front of the vehicle or the backside. How many bolts holds the tranny to the bell housing, and how would you reccomend getting the ones towards the top of the housing off it looked really tight. ONe more thing, the wires that are right by the tranny are gunked up terribly, and I can even see some wire, how can I clean the wires safely, and then cover them(thinking electrical tape). Thanks so much guys. Excited to be working on it again.
