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!!!

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)
