basically this is from the manual step by step but I would like to know any tricks to get this done:
TRANSAXLE REMOVAL - the haynes manual method:
disconnect battery
remove intake hose
remove starter
disconnect ground, reverse light, and wiring harness clamp
shift into R
disconnect shift and select cables stay
remove power steering speed sensor
remove wheel and splash guard
drain transaxle
remove clutch fluid pressure line, junction, slave cylinder and pushrod
remove center beam and a-pipe
disconnect lower control arm
disconnect damper fork from lca
pry left driveaxle out of middle shaft
disconnect bearing support and remove middle shaft
pry right driveaxle out of differential
remove damper for pinch bolt and remove shock absorber
remove radius rod
remove clutch access cover
remove rear engine mount bracket bolts
remove 5 transaxle retaining bolts
remove transaxle mount
remove 3 transaxle housing retaining bolts.
a friend who has done this on civics said i shouldn't bother with the ball joint and just unbolt the a-arm and everything will swing out of the way. what is he talking about? the upper arm? I've never changed a clutch before and will be attempting it on Friday
