can i get some specific instructions (all of them) on how to do a front cover removal and reassembly with the engine in the car, and without ******* everything up?

 

The most important thing is to make sure your clutch hydrolic system will hold pressure for a long period of time. Once you confirm that wedge your clutch petal to the floor. Then do what you have to under the cover. After that bolt on the front cover and tighten ecentric shaft bolt. Then release your clutch. The clutch must maintain persure the whole time you have the ecentrio bolt removed.

 

none of the bearings will get messed up on reassembly? do i need to put grease on them to make them stick in one place?

 

bump

 

thats why you gotta have the clutch depressed, so the bearings dont fall out.

 

well the noise im trying to get at might be one of the bearings... maybe im just lost here.
