Doing the clutch today, HELP Options

[ripper911]

So, then. I'll be attempting to change my clutch today, I don't really work on cars very much, so I am going to be asking you people some questions.

First, besides a flywheel lock and the alignment tool, do I need any other special tools?

Someone here suggested using four jackstands to only raise the rear end, how does that sound to the others here and where do the stands go for stabilitys sake.

would putting the front of the car on ramps and the rear on stands to have the whole thing in the air be a good idea? or the other way around...

anything that might be of use is needed from all of you whom are more experienced than myself. I have no clue what I'm doing, but I'll follow the procedures and hope I'm up to it.

I'm about to go buy the parts, and go to my dads house to use his garage/tools.
I'll be posting pics if there is any trouble.

I will have the 914 914/6 handbook, the haynes manual, and the Dr 914 procedure that comes with the kit.

Thanks in advance! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/KMA.gif)

First of all don't forget to undo the ground strap first, and reconnect it last after burnishing all contact surfaces.

Are you leaving the engine in the car? If so then the following applies. Regardless, without a lift it's a two man job to be safe about it. Too many things to watch

I put my car up in the front also because I want to inspect the entire thing if it's gonna be up in the air anyway. The butt will go a little higher to give myself room to navigate. But I want it low enough to get a tall jackstand under the motor to hold it up while the transaxle is off. Makes it easier to jack up the unit while putting it back in too.

Good luck
