Replacing clutch is a son of a !!
 

Ok, so I started tearing crap off yesterday for my new ACT clutch, everything is starting to come off easy, I"m like "this is a first", then I get to my drive shafts, and I CAN"T get my spindle nuts off for anything, so now I have to wait until next weekend to get a air ratched socket that won't crack on me, man I"m pissed. I havn't even had a change to take it out this year yet!, and after I get my clutch done, I'm going to Uberdata which might take another two weeks! sucks!!!

u dont need to remove ur axles
just pop off ur balljoints and twist it open
works fine

Re: Replacing clutch is a son of a !!
 

and theres a manual in the hybrid section (92-95civic) and it tells u step by step how to do it the right way ;)

I bought an entire set of metric Impact sockets for $20 from a local discount tool store. (like Harbor Freight) Just go buy a set and get your car done.

get a ball joint fork and split both upper and lower balljoints off the hub
one u release the ball joints u cant open the hub like a door and that makes enough clearance for u to remove the tranny with the axle still attached to the hub

Sometimes the ball joints are a bitch to get apart if you dont have the fork tool. So...Unbolt the lower control arm and strut from the arm. That too will give you plenty of clearence. I have found this to be the easiest and fastest way at the track. I even had to swap a tranny out between rounds. 1 hour 10 minutes full trans swap on my back with hand tools jack stands, a chain and a 2x4 supporting the engine lol!! (95 hatch)

i just pop the lower one and unbolt the strut fork....if i can remember right, ive done it different ways

Re: Replacing clutch is a son of a !!
 

yeah man definetly just pop off the lower ball joint and pull the hub back, you be able to slip it right out of there.


just get one of these---> http://rds.yahoo.com/S=96062883/K=ba...arater_150.jpg and pound on that fucker till it breaks loose

Clutches are cake, If I remember right you can just pop the upper balljoint, undo the strut, and pull the spindle far enough to get the axle out
