I've got a question for you. I don't know who exactly i need to go to and talk about this, just registered today.
I've got a 1995 Ford Ranger. It's got a manual tranny to it and the clutch recently went out.
I got a new clutch for it which wasn't bad at all, but now my buddy, dad and i are trying to replace it on our own. I know that we need to disconnect the drive shaft, 4x4 shaft, and the the tranny itself to get to the clutch, but we haven't even gotten to the part where we disconnect the drive shaft. One of the bolts on a support bar under the tranny WILL NOT BUDGE.
we've tried heating it up and then hitting it with a air ratchet, even tried cutting it with a nut cutter, but nothing is working...i need help, i miss driving my baby around
the best rust penetrator is a 50/50 mix of atf and acetone(very flamable), the next best is liquid wrench.hit it with that....then get a 1/2 breaker bar with a pipe that should do it............can you access the bolt with a sawsall?
make sure you replace the slave cylinder with a good brand.....
