Did you have to drop the subframe to install clutch?

i bought my socket online. for around $10. If you can wait a few days i would suggest to pick one up somewhre online.

Yeah you have to drop the sub frame unless you are pulling the engine and tranny from up top to change the clutch, even then you still might have to in order to reach certain bolts.

my buddie ordered the socket from snap on....i guess not many cars use 12 point hubs to bolt the axle in place...

i just pulled the axle without taking the axle nut off. took the whole wheel assembly off, which also made it easier to pull the axle out because i was pulling on a huge bracket instead of just the axle. when i had it out i just strung it up and then took the trans out ^^
