My Flywheel Bolts came undone and fu**cked my whole clutch assembly up! After I spent 100+ dollars for the torque wrench from craftman specifically bought for putting the tranny back together, im left with a 1600 dollar bill, new stock clutch assembly, new master/slave cylinders, and new flywheel bolts. All that fu**ing hard work for nothing!!! Im returning the wrench.....The only thing left to make myself feel better HAHA
I sure don't, I would just use my clutch and the steering wheel lol JK

I hope you realize that if you return a tool to sears you'll have to pay a restocking fee. They've changed policy within the past few years. Did you use red loctite on the FW bolts? If you need a flywheel, I have a ACT streetlite for a great price. I was told it needed resurfaced, but it doesn't look bad at all. Let me know.

Everyone always has to blame the tools. Not the user... I hope you realize that if you return a tool to sears you'll have to pay a restocking fee. They've changed policy within the past few years.

hahaha, thats not the case with me. long story but i have one new tire on my car cuz they are discontinued and i was lucky enough to find that one. i keep calling places and they are like "shaving tires, never heard of it". if ur a tire shop you should know what that is, its comon sense really... shaving a tire. so my car is sitting out there cuz i dont want to drive it with one tire at 100% and the right at about 50%. maybe i could tell you what happened but im leaving for work now, so i made this quick.

Let me know.Yes I did put the locktite on there, that means nothing.
P.s. My opinion about Evo owners stand because of humans with the thought process as yours.

ah i got ya. well, in that case, i am afraid i can't be much help.
as a long shot, you could try getting in touch with RPM up in warrendale.
they're a performance shop, so they may be able to do it for you, or at least point you in the right direction.

I didn't post that so someone like you could bash me. Maybe if you could post without feeling the need to belittle someone for once in your life someone would actually like to post in here. I did that job on my car for experience, I also felt confident enough with myself to do it, so I did it. I would like to see you replace a clutch on your back. I don't know if you noticed I stopped posting in here because of comments like that made by people like you. But this time I will not be returning. I have better things to do then to sit here and worry about whether or not I will get bashed.

SJ---I dont think anyone is bashing you...even people with experience can have those problems... i think the point is that certain areas of our cars can be very touchy and costly...there is a reason that labor to do those type of repairs is high and people such as mike have the training and experience to complete the job correctly is cheaper in the long run... dude no offense but you get way too sensitive about stuff....and as far as generalizing evo owners...everyone on here in the area has been cool and i am glad i met all of you

Brian was just breaking ***** a little about the "user" part , you are taking that a bit far.
Plus he was willing to hook you up on a sweet price for a upgraded and lightend flywheel. And all you want to do is ****ing cry. One thing you have to realize is people on the forums love to talk **** in one way or another or flat out ignore your azz get used to it.

Its funny that noone else talks **** but certain members, Talk **** all you want I could care less. And thanks for the compliment on my forum. Its not even a year old yet and you are making fun of it lol....... Im glad you're not on there HAHA.....Plus I asked him how much for the flywheel, he no reply, plus Im sure I can get a brand new for around or less than what he is selling it for ontop of getting it resurfaced. Its called dealer accounts.
