Hey guys,
So I got the clutch out of my free Mi16 today. I took the advice I got
when I asked about it, but it was still pretty tough. I don't have a
lift, so I had to support the engine under the oil pan with a floor
jack. I removed the entire lower mount from the engine block, as well
as the 4 nuts from the passenger side mount so the engine could move
down. I also removed the exhaust pipe at the header. I got the
transmission off, but I had trouble with the stud (the one that
attaches to the driver's side mount) on the top of the transmission
hitting the body, and the speedo drive hitting the subframe. Is it
easier to take the speedo drive off? Any advice for an easier install?
The clutch was smoked in a big way, and the flywheel is super cracked
all over the friction surface. Does anyone have a good used flywheel
or know of where I can get a new one?
I also found that the outer passenger side CV joint boot is cracked.
Is it easy for the average home mechanic to change? I'm not sure how
one would get the smaller part of the boot streched over the end of
the shaft.
Thanks for reading!!!
