Default Need Help Quick!!! Clutch install

Got it together, 11pm and headed home. Would have been 9pm and going home if not for the lack of a clutch alignment tool and hunting down a 13mm 12 point for the ARP flywheel bolts. Thanks for the tips. LS1tech rocks as always when you need good info.

the bellhousing has two studs on the left and right hand side, they're pretty thick and about 1/4" long. It took me abit of prying in various locations with a big screwdriver as well as a little assisstance from a rubber mallet. Just work it around keeping in mind there are alignment studs.

Where are you in Lexington? Shoot me a pm if you would like some help getting that out. AutoZone has the puller that you will need if you do not yet have one.

Hey Xtrm, if you had a clutch alignment tool laying around, that would come in handy. Stupid clutch kit was 4 days late and didn't come with a tool, yay.
