Clutch replacement questions



Go buy this:
Craftsman 10 in. Flex Handle

...and the appropriate socket for the crank bolt. Wedge it the direction
you're turning and DIY.

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.
