Talking half way done with my clutch install

i started my clutch install at 12 today, so it's taken me 9 hrs including 3hrs trying to find a slide hammer then giving up and ghetto-rigging a pulling mechanism to get that POS shaft that goes through the transfer case out.

to anyone who has any plans of doing this on their own..... pay someone else to do it. i was quoted $600+ to get this done.... i don't have that kind of money to spend since i'm only 20 i don't make enough and i just dumped a ton of money on bull**** since my gf's friend totalled my other car..... sucks.

so anyways, the tranny is finally out of the car, i'll post some pics of the mess i'm left with now until my new clutch arrives sometime tomorrow

oh yea... and i'm doing this in the car audio install shop at the back of the southcenter circuit city with all my tools from home

I have done three cluthes now, two of which are on my car. So, if you get stuck. Ask the question and I might be able to help.
