Just think, You coulda come with me to clarence yesterday!
I found some nice tracks but being solo, I only drove about 3/4 of
the good tracks I found for fear of getting stuck/lost with just me and
the GF.


Cheers,

doing a clutch change is easy if you dont let the gbox onto the ground
remove carpet, front seats, gear boot and cover plate
remove top 2 bolts, easy if you have a body lift, otherwise tilt the motor
remove starter, tail shafts, all bottom bolts and the clutch slave,
use 2 step ledders, one on each side of the front doors, open windows and pass 4" pole through.
sling the gbox with a chain, attatch block n tackel to chain, take weight and remove x member.
riggle and lever to brake the silicone between the bellhousing and the motor, lower and its out.
just keep the gbox and transfer up near the tunnel and off to the side a bit and the clutch and flywheel cna be reached.

refitt in the opposite order
should take 3 guys 3-4hrs
good luck

use a decent 4" pole as it weight around 220kg
