DIY Clutch Install
#16
He has some great images here. Definately worth a look. He cheated, removed the engine.
So the pivot shaft cap is an "SOB" even with the motor out? The part that kicked my **** was not being able to get leverage because of the cramped space.

Your blog is a bit scary....

Haha, yea, way more work to R&R the motor, but you can see things easier which is why I took the pictures, so guys just pulling the tranny could at least see what they are grabbing at The plug really isn't bad out of the car, I have never dropped a motor to do the clutch, I have always done them just by pulling the tranny, but in the air, above your head, you are just kind of stabbing blind and trying to grab the plug, which makes it a pain on occasion due to access. Sometimes they come right out, other times....not so much. I usually use a needle nose vise grip when doing it "engine in"

Hey guys, yesterday a friend of mine said me that usually one has to "find" the correct position (angular position relatively to the crackshaft position) for the flywheel/clutch assembly, otherwise the assembly will be not balanced with the cranckshaft and it will vibrate a lot. He said you need a special tool to do so.
Any word on this?Is it BS?

Just some pointer that you could add to your very well made DIY (which i wish i had when i did mine), to get the black platic cap on the clutch shaft with the pliers, it is very hard, i found an other way.
get an other of those 6mm bolt, a little longer than the one to pull the shaft and if you insert it in the starter hole, at the end of the shaft, in the transmission housing where the bearing on the passenger side is, there is a small hole in the middle in which you can insert it and push the shaft towards the driver side, this will will pop the black plastic cap out and then you can use your other bolt to thread in the shaft and pull like you mentionned. Just put the bolt in the hole and with a small prybar, you can pry it straight.
i took your picture and put an arrow to show where you can insert the bolt, we would need a closer look though

Brilliant! this would also keep the passenger side roller bearing from getting stuck.

That is EXACTLY right. Whoa, I am glad you reminded me of that, I was fearing the worst. You cannot put it on wrong. I should have taken more pics. I had the intention of doing the DIY all along, but when you are in the swing of things and making progress, you forget to take pics/video.
