Default DIY Clutch change question.

OK call me stupid but why cant I, disconnect the top A arms, remove shocks, remove the four nuts holding the rear cradle, and slide the whole thing out as one unit.

Just did my clutch yesterday. That's exactly what i did. You need a hoist and a tranny jack, or it's a nightmare. I just dropped the whole drive train. It took about 4 hours of actual work start to finish. :cheers:

That is exactly how you should do it! It took me 2-1/2 hours using a lift to do mine. :iagree:
