good luck with that. Good brother/brother bonding

Big Daddys Stang · July 3rd, 2009, 06:06 PM

That's the same thing that happened to my car but I got lucky cuz I bought the car with a new clutch already.... Time for a new TOB= throw out bearing or new clutch.

Might as well upgrade the clutch if you're taking it out. Just putting in a new tob isnt worth it to me.

Obviously it would depend on the mileage already on that clutch, but it looks like he plans on doing a clutch job.

well i got everything out, tomorrow going to run to napa or autozone and pick up a pilot bearing puller, and then put a new one in, real seal looks to be ok, doesnt leak or anything looks dry around all the seal areas, worth replacing? and how hard is it

Lind · July 4th, 2009, 01:14 PM

Pictures ! lol

All the pieces

Under the car from the rear end

The reason for all this work lol, bad tob

Clutch looks pretty good yet, see the guy inthe center of the hole of the clutch? in the window, lol creepy just seen that

^Your avatar is freakin amazing.

GL with the TOB man.

mooses · July 4th, 2009, 06:20 PM

Nice pics, especially the one with the guy in the middle of the clutch disk. I'm assuming you meant to do that? Otherwise that would be freaky. The rear seal sounds fine, I wouldn't bother.

Lind · July 4th, 2009, 07:05 PM

lol i had no idea about it, i just seen it

Rear main seal wasn't hard to replace, be EXTREMELY careful removing it if you do so, it is normally recommeded if you have all that off already, cheap too. Don't forget resurfacing/new flywheel, I'm sure you know what's up if you've already got all that off already, just did all this myself...
