^nice add^Equinox said:instead of taking off the control arm and pulling out the ball joint from the spindle, you can just take off the two nuts and bolts that hold the spindle to the strut, and the entire assembly will drop down, allowing you to remove the driverside axle. This will also allow you to pivot the spindle with the steering tie rod, to shimmy out the axle. I chose this method because I do not have access to a pickle fork. =)
Posts #1 through #8 explain how to remove the tranny.mspeed#267 said:Sorry to Threadjack but does anyone have a write-up on, how-to replace the clutch? This will be my first time changing one on a FWD car so I'm kinda in the dark about what all i will need to remove.I have ran a search and I didn't come up with anything that will help me out.
I will delete this post so that I won't clutter up your thread.
Thanks

Yeah and go slow, label EVERYTHING. The slower you go taking it out, the faster it goes back in.JDM Sam said:Torque wrench, pry bar, big ******* hammer, extension handle for more leverage on ratchet, engine support, impact, good set of metric sockets deep reach, flex head ratchets, 14 mm box wrench, tranny jack or a helper to help you hoist the tranny back in. Have a fun 6-10 hours if ur doing it the first time.
