abn deuce Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 whats the plan ,do you put the Jeep up on a set of ramps to work underneath or do you raise one end ? Will you be indoors or outside while doing the overhaul of the clutch ? I m guessing your likely to plan on more that the throw out bearing :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
