Help, I need 2mm

noquarterMember

Had (have) an oil leak at the rear of the engine in the Pantera. Oil pan is off, so is main cap. Took me 3 hours to push out the old rope with several fabricated tools. But now I can't the new rubber lip seal pushed into the block, max 45 degrees of the required 180 degrees.
I've lowered all the main caps and tried to lower crank, but it doesn't seem to move.
Now, the gearbox is still on, so I know I can't lower the crank a lot, but I only need a little. How can I lower the crank a little, can it be done without removing gearbox? Can I take out the 6 bolts and then let the gearbox and crank fall down 2mm? Or is the clutch axle a little flexible, only held in place and aligned by the crank?

As you can see any advise to find a 2mm lowering of the crank is welcome.
