Help! Clutch replacement
I am attempting my first clutch replacement. MY truck is a 1961 F100, 223 with three on the tree. I found a YouTube video of said job on a 1966 F100 as a reference only to find that mine looks nothing like that one. My bell housing looks to be the rear motor mounts also. Dumb questions start here: Can I remove the clutch, pressure plate and flywheel without supporting the engine to remove the bell housing? Any reference videos of this on a 61? Thanks in advance!

Amy chance you could take pics or roll video?
I have a ‘64 with the same engine & transmission setup. Subbed.

X2 it's that simple. Do the throw out bearing at the same time as the clutch and check the pilot bushing in the end of the crank.

UPDATE! I got it out! Not looking forward to the install. I’m guessing it is two bolts install, turn the flywheel, install two more etc? How do I check the pilot bushing? I’m taking the whole thing to a clutch shop about an hour from me for repair/replace tomorrow. Thanks for all y’all’s help!!!
