    Default Flywheel Install

    I might be able to come by Saturday morning, but have plans for the rest of the weekend. PM where/when you're going to be starting.

    Are you sure you want to do this now? Did you think about putting in a fresh clutch while you're at it? Just a thought.

    Yeah I think I am going to get an OEM clutch to put in. I am going to use "the" garage, so it shouldnt be too bad. I am a glutton for punishment, and I havent done something fun with the car lately. Oh and since I have to work Saturday night, I am not going to start until sunday. Thanks for the offer anyway. I figure with air tools, I should be able to knock it out.

    Just make sure you've got lots of extensions and swivel joints.

    After participating in two clutch jobs on my own car, this is not the time of year I would choose to do this job, unless I had an air-conditioned garage. It's just too damn hot.

    Thats why I am not too worried about it. The PO was an architect and insulated the garage so it could be his office.

    Is it AC'd? If not, the insulation will hold the heat in nicely!
