I've got a '97 with the need for a new clutch. The clutch doesn't engage well, and I'm pretty certain the plate's worn out. The previous owner even provided a new clutch kit with the car when I bought it a year ago :P
I don't have a lift, and no one I know has access to one. Not even a kwik lift. I'm thereby stuck doing this on jack stands. I've found a bunch of references to this link: http://www.cajundude.com/dopeinstall.doc but that page is dead, and I don't see the document reposted anywhere.
Does anyone have a how-to for removing the clutch on jack stands, rather than using a lift?

i do ALL my work on stands. Its easy. IMHO,, just go with a C5 ZO6 Clutch with a new pilot bearing, slave cyl, throw out bearing and a REMOTE BLEEDER!
I also highly recommend replacing the master as it will be severely gunked up inside. Ask me how I know>>
C5 Clutch. Have you researched BALANCING your clutch???????/ If not,,, you need to!
When the clutch is out,,, replace the Torque Tube Bushings!!!

Kyle I have it downloaded pictures pictures and all pm me your email address
Hey Guys...I really appreciate all of you sharing your experience and knowledge.
I have decided to bite the bullet and do it myself. Today I removed the drive U-Join, drive shaft and hurts shifter...strange that the U-Joint had no zerk fitting on it.
One of the things that was making me think of just having this done was that I benched pressed the Muncie in myself last time...laying it on my chest. Today I made this out of an extra well used floor jack I had. In the "cup/cradle" of the jack was a rivet, I removed it and welded a bolt on the bottom side...this way I can remove the black bracket. The black bracket was in my metal junk pile that was used to hold up a TV on the wall.
If I don't tighten up the bolt, I should be able to swivel the cradle. I'll strap it down and I should be good to go.....haaa...so he says.
