SoCal Clutch SOS!
Tomorrow will be day 3 on this infernal clutch job. Everything has been too tight/rusted in place and coming apart slowly.
Today I got the trans out and the torque tube disconnected and the bellhousing bolts off. Tomorrow (time permitting) I'll have the bellhousing, pressure plate and clutch disc off. If I'm lucky the flywheel, pilot bearing and crank seal out/replaced. I'm incredibly pressed for time. Reassembly seems more like a 2+ person job to help position things. I'm asking, please, any SoCal guys near Costa Mesa/Orange County to please come by and help. Saturday would be best as I know a lot of people have the normal M-F work. Please send a PM if you're ready/willing/able to lend a hand. I'd be buying a six-pack of your favorite brews per person who can help. Please send a PM and I can give you the address and my cell of where in Costa Mesa. Thanks in advance. ~B

Agreed, I'm in Pasadena, but I have friends in Riverside, so normally I'd be happy to go visit them and help you out. But this weekend they're coming here.

I want to give a big thanks to Craig (McFly944) for coming to lend a hand today. Without his help I'd still be trying to get the bellhousing off!
Around 8:00 PM I had the crank seal in, pilot bearing in (and packed), clutch and pressure plate in. Also repacked my clutch fork/release lever needle bearings with moly lube. Just have to finish the reassembly, now. I should get pretty far next saturday (working all week).
