i plan on changing the clutch/flywheel by myself... is there any special tools needed??? and what bolt size socket should i be using to take out the tranny.... thanks...

 

Have you tried searching for this topic?.....

Sockets needed: 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm, 19mm and 21mm.

 

i'd like to add helms manual... oh yea maybe a clutch alignment tool. have fun.

 

Hopefulley, if he bought a clutch kit... it should come with the alignment tool..... I would also change the rear main seal while the tranny is out.

 

alldata....best thing....next to a helms of course...you also need a tranny jack so the trnas doesnt fall on your face..

 

what tools do u have to use to pull the flywheel out???

 

flywheel holding tool, 12 point sockets, torque wrench

damn i could go on forever lol.

 

who needs a torque wrench? that's what impact guns are for! lol jk
yes a torque wrench is a good sugestion.

Put the impact gun on the ground and step away from the engine. thats it, nice and easy.. nice and.. STOP! *turns to partners* QUICK!!!! He's going for the flywheel!!!

 

what socket do i use on the outside of the tranny... there are some bolt that seems to be 14mm but when i use a 14mm socket, it seems to stip my bolt...

use 6 point sockets unless you need a 12 point

dont' forget you need a friend to help you out since tranny case is damn heavy.

 

you should be ok doing it yourself.....just get the trans down and let it rest on your check, just keep the pokey bits away.....

definately use 6 point sockets unless absolutely neccesary(for some unknown reason)you have to use 12 pointers.....they strip things much easier.....

definately NO impact guns on the flywheel....and be very very sure that the torques on the crank bolts are even.....or you will have chatter like biachhh!

you will need the socket to fit the crank bolts.....thats the only really weird tool i can think of other than the aforementioned flywheel holder....which you probably dont have....but could do without.....

I just jammed a piece of wood between the flywheel teeth and a tranny bolt
to hold the flywheel still when removing/torquing the flywheel bolts.

Make sure when you torque down the pressure plate, that teh disc stays
directly in the center or else the shaft will not line up when you go to
bolt the tranny back on

I wouldn't attempt this w/o a Helms either
