in the middle of putting new clutch in my evo 8, just wanted some info on how to take the transfer case off, im looking for some straight answers from someone who has done it b4, and any more tips on the clutch install would be helpful, thanks

You will need a 8/125 thread "slap hammer " . There is a threaded hole on both sides of the center shaft . It is easier to pull out from the drivers side. Unless you want to take off the subframe and power steering . After you get the center shaft out . you will need to adjust attitude ( up & down ) of the engine to get the tranfer case out. A fender well engine hoist will help you accomplish this . Also it is a little easier if you take out the STUDS that hold the engine mount ( drivers side ) . And that gold bracket ( Air box). Hope this helps

One more thing . Make sure to release the throwout bearing FIRST . See that gold cap just below the clutch slave , pop it off and use long screwdriver to release . Also , when you get to your flywheel , check for grooves . The flywheel may need resurfacing . If it does , make sure you grind EVENLY across the ENTIRE friction surface . DO NOT let the grinding wheel dig in . A light grinding should due . You do Not have to take the flywheel off to do this . A small pnuematic grinder will due .

About the flywheel resurfacing. Never use a hand grinder to resurface a flywheel. Take the flywheel to a Shop and have it done properly. After all the time spent to R&R would you want to have to do it again.
