lol, well apparently i did it the hard way then, but neither me or my step dad had done it before...
but i dropped the exhaust, and left the wires connected, i also left the tailshaft in the rear of the box.
that way i just put the jack under it and dropped it down so i have enough room to change the clutch, and i had no spills of oil, plus i figure itll be easy to lift again.
the top 2 bolts were easy to remove once i took the dizzy out, ratchet and breaker bar does the trick.
