So I started on the big clutch job a couple of days ago and ran into some problems.

First I couldn't get the 10mm bolt out from the wire harness clamp because it was too rusted or too tight. The thing was tight and kept twisting when I was trying to get it off. Worried that I would break it I just left it and went on.

Then I ran into a rounded off bolt on the A-pipe and got stuck for awhile figuring how to get it off.

Knowing it would only get harder later with the axles and dropping the tranny I realize this job is just too big for me and decided to take it to a shop to get it done properly and save myself the headache.

I guess that's the problem with working on an old car with a lot of rust. Just didn't realize it until I actually tried. I do like working on cars, learning, and doing things myself but I think I get some more experience or someone to help before tackling a clutch job myself again.
