Clutch replacement questions

[ranahan@charter.net (John Erickson)]

When I removed the crank bolt (other end), I ended up pulling the oil pan 
and jamming a chunk of 2x4 between the crank and the side of the block to 
keep it from turning.  If you've never had the pan off, you may be in for a 
bit of a surprise.  Mine was full of crap (RTV sealant and metal bits) from 
an old engine.
