yeah i have done 5 clutches and never actually had one be fused unless of course the clutch material blows apart into 1.5million pieces lol... But just get a buddy up top and someone on the bottom and hold the flat part of the clip in and operate the rod... i actually just did one today hehe...

Im in the same ordeal... but I got the tranny off the way Al explained to do it.
My question is after you get it disconnect the trany from the engine... how do you remove the pressure plate from the throwout bearing?

i got the tranny off by taking the bolts off the pressure plate through the access hole. then to get the pressure plate off me and a buddy screwed around with a screw driver and a hook and poped the rings off the pressure plate that released it from the through out bearing

since its apart u can just take a screw driver to the ring on the inside of the pressure plate. onces its ripped off then it no longer holds the throw out bearing... If using that method just make sure u dont want to re use the pressure plate

well if you can take the snap ring off the tob it will come right off its hard to do bc its inside the pressure plate... the last one i did thatwas fused resulted in cutting the wedge collar off and it fell right out...
i would only reccomend this if you are replacing your clutch not rebuilding bc you will have to find another wedge collar and there hard to come by

When i pulled my motor out i couldnt release the throw out bearing (Exedy Twin HD) from underneath like your suppose to i tried for over 2 hours so i did some research and found this is normal on the exedy if the clutch was installed incorrectly so i did what big al said and i got the tranny off and now the pressure plate is stuck OR broken from improper installment but i HAVE to reuse the pressure plate how do i get it off?
