i gotta replace my clutch and i wanna do it myself .... i was wondering what the easiest way to do it is if you haven't got a hoist ... can you just put the car on jackstands and drop the tranny or do i gotta pull the whole engine /tranny out??

i took a look today and the shims for the pads were there.... i grabbed the rotor and rocked it in all directions and there was no play ... the most recent work i did there was when i replaced the outer cv boot in september ... the nuts are there but i didn't check to see if they were fully...

i'll take a look ... thanks man

i've spent enough time freezing my ass off in the garage working on the car this winter but i remember the trouble i had replacing the cv boot on the other axle in the summer ... it took me a really long time cause i don't have a compressor and everything was seized .... after about 20 outside...

that's a good idea ... but it's -20 degrees celcius here

i hear a thud whenever i hit my brakes .... it doesn't happen if i'm light on the brakes but moderate pressure on the pedal produces a loud thump .... my buddy says maybe my ball joint ... any ideas guys???

I know how you feel .... until a little while ago everything i fixed worked well for a bit and then went to hell ... i was getting really discouraged .... i love taking things apart and knowing how they work .... if you know how it works then you know why it's broken ... what is getting me...

what kind of brakes are the guys withg rota slips running??? are they stock??? i've been looking them up and the biggest size i've seen is 16" and all the big brake kits i see recommend a 17" or larger rim... would you need a crazy offset to make everything work with a 16"???

ooopps, sorry .... it's a 5th gen civic coupe
