I plan to do:

Change of oil
Change of tranny fluid (i'm gonna use Royal Purple)

Checkup on steering components

Whew, i hope i can get all that done on Saturday!!!!
i think i can, i'm gonna be using my uncle's garage and tools, so i should have everything i need.
What about the special tool needed to take of the some of my brakepads? tips, tricks??

remember that i know very little about the clutch assembly.
hehehehe, oh, am i going to have to change the pilot bearing?
i hope not, cuz i aint buying no tool from m-trix for 130 bucks!!

tate is sending me a new throwout bearing, so that is awesome also.

i need tips and tricks!!!! please. i need help guys.

thanks

 

Ok, make sure that your uncle has a clutch alining tool cause its a bitch to do it by feel.

I would recommend changing the pilot bearing whyle you are in there cause it wears pretty much at the same pace as the throwout bearing. Most medium sized pullers can do the job, but its a little more frustrating.

 

yeah, i got the alignment tool on its way.
the pilot bearing is prolly pretty easily found at a auto zone or sumthin

thanks

 

Hell since your lucky enuff to have some space a shop to use along with their tools all the things you plan on doing are very straightforward... so have fun... altho you better hurry your *** along to do all of that stuff in one day.

 

Tip 1:
Get to the garage at the crack of dawn and bring as many friends as you can.

Tip 2:
Make sure your uncle has a pilot bearing puller - if not, go rent one.

Tip 3:
Just follow the directions in your workshop manual. You do have the factory one, right?

am i gonna want to change out the pilot bearing?
i'm getting a new throwout bearing, but is it wise to change out the pilot also?!
