Make sure there isn't anything you'll run into if you come off the stands! | | |

Some pressure plates are constructed so you can gain access to the clutch disc after removing the flywheel cover. Maybe some prudent prying with a long screwdriver would do the trick.
This would be the "don't want to drive it" approach!

Rock the truck back & forth. This usually gets em loose & you can tell when it comes loose.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
