Recommendations....???

Can anyone recommend a good cheap place that'll replace my clutch? I've bought the clutch kit already and need it swapped over. Preferrably south side but if you know somewhere that does it cheap I wouldn't mind the little extra travel. I've had some idiots quote me 600 for fitment which is ridiculous. Any suggestions? Cheers

hmmmmm i am tempted to say ill do it but without the alignment tool it might provide somewhat difficult.

Anyone done one at home?? What did you do to align the clutch etc?

haha mate if you could put my clutch in I'd love you long time. Feel like doing an alternator as well?

No biggie if you can't though cos without a hoist the clutch would be a whore to take out.

As with all mechanical work for me it's been a long time, but I have done one before.
Now I cannot say for sure but I think we aligned it by eye as the tool we had for it was shitThat was on an EH so there was a lot more room to actually do that than there would be on the FTO, and it Was still a crapper of a job to do ^^
Anyway the alligning tool is available for $60 from kingchrome, probably cheaper from supercheap or autiobarn.
I can help you guys out if you do it in the evening(finish work at 6) or on a monday or tuesday when I'm off work.

ok let me think about whats involved and get back to.

Yeah chris i have done them by eye before but that was on a hoist where you so much more room.

Alternator piece of piss mate, ill definitly do that for you

Sweet. I just gotto wait for the alternator to arrive next week. When are you available? I've been ringing around today and decided to give joe and ricks a call. Got quoted $350 which is pretty damn reasonable. Thinking more about this job, I'd feel pretty bad getting you to do it considering everything that's involved. Would be an absolute c**t (which is a word i don't use much

)

Pfft! Alignment tool...

Best alignment is done by hand!

Typical NSW

Like stick your finger through the spline into the spigot bearing

As I said earlier, I've aligned them by eye before.

Bye hand is a new one for me ...must be a Sydney thing!
