Re: '63 Fenderside in Colorado
Rod, TJ, thanks for your advice. I got both the clutch and flywheel out, no problem. A couple surprises. When I dropped the flywheel dustcover, there were a couple pieces of metal plus 3 bolts laying in it. I have no clue where they came from.
I used my floor jack with a piece of 2x6 on it to freeze the crank while I unbolted the flywheel. It also was my "helper" to ease the flywheel down until I could get a good grasp to remove it.
The throughout bearing plus the little one are both shot. They are rough to turn, and make a lot of noise.
I think Charles Atlas and Hulk Hogan teamed up to put that flywheel on. The bolts were really hard to break loose. I still feel that in my elbow.
