Originally posted by dadnkid ok...I'm feeling really small. I'm having trouble with removing the clutch off the engine so I can install the engine on the engine stand. I'm looking at the clutch and normally you remove the pressure plate bolts but they're all round...not a socket bolt head. The only bolts I see are the ones between the clutch and engine. When I try to remove those, the crank spins. I used the search on here and on yahoo. no luck. help is needed. Thanks
This might help you understand your modular clutch set-up;

All you need to do is lock up the crank somehow (there are various ways to do this. Easy enough to have someone hold the crank pulley bolt in place while you loosen up the bolts that hold the clutch on. They are not torqued that tight). 4 bolts, then the clutch just falls into the ball housing when you crack the tranny and engine apart.
Easy peasy.
