|
|
Does anyone have a trick to getting to the top bolt of the bellhousing? It’s crowded up in there, and I just can’t get the leverage/range of motion combo to break it loose. I’m stalled in a clutch replacement on my 78 NA. THANKS! [/u] |

Clutch change is a pain, just went through the process on my turbo. Is the torque tube removed ? that will help alot, i took it with an angled ratchet wrench from above. Cutting a long socket to perfect lenght could help aswell. _________________ 1980 924 Turbo

Thanks—I just got it with a combo of scoket wrench, lift handle, and a small sledge hammer. This project is testing my patience and grit. I’m already chalking it up to a character building weekend. |

Just finished a clutch replacement on my 924 na. The top 19mm bolt was a royal pain in the behind on mine (possibly the worse part of the complete job). On mine the bolt goes through the bell housing, screws into the block then had a nut on the end so was never going to simply unscrew. To get it off I dropped the engine mount under the intake manifold which gave enough clearance to remove the bolt then the bolt came out.
Basically 1.5 hours work to remove one bolt _________________ 1982 924 2.0 Lux

It went a bit better when i lowered the engine as much as possible on the engine mount threads, it gave a couple of mm extra clearance against the firewall. _________________ 1980 924 Turbo

At least reinstalling and tightening that bolt is easier than removing it! |
