How easy or difficult is it?

I ve been thinking about changing the clutch on my Evo 8 on my own. I have decent mechanichal skills. Ive done clutch installs on many other cars and no prob for me. This is my first time installing on a AWD tranny or an Evo. I would like to know how different it would be. Is it a job that I should even be considering even though ive never done it before? How under rated or over rated is this install. I think that with the service manual and some research i should be ok.

it was easier than i thought but if you dont have a shop and a good friend to help i would pay to get it done. im just really stubborn and did it myself, it was my first clutch install ever and it took my about 6 hours. only specialty tool i used was a dent puller with a bolt welded on the end to pull the shafts out of the transfercase

So... where do i get that bolt that goes welded on the end of the dent puller? What size bolt is it? Did the throw out bearing come with the clutch kit you guys bought. Did you guys replace it with a new one?

tow bearing should come with your clutch, and look at the how to, it will tell you the bolt size
