First thing is to go to Bus Depot web site.
Get your credit card out.
Buy a clutch kit, front main seal and a flywheel O ring. They are about
as cheap as any source.
You'll have about five days after you order the parts to worry about
putting these parts in.
Drop the rear engine cross bar about 6 inches with long bolts. Buy six
Metric pressure plate bolts at ACE Hardware while you're there.
Dis connect your CV joints at the tranny.
Remove your starter.
Drop the front of the tranny on a floor jack.
Block the engine up.
Loosen the 4 bolts holding the tranny to the engine.
Disconnect the clutch slave and shift selector linkage, backup light
switch and ground cable.
With the engine to tranny bolts wiggle it forward until it is free and
can be dropped.
Take two day off and write back about installing the main seal, flywheel
O ring, Pilot Bearing.
Oh! By the way ................ I think there is a full write up in
Hayes, Bentley, Muir manuals.
Heck .......... you might even find it in the archives.
