Guys I need help again . This time its the god forsaken Throw-Out Bearing. I cant pop that piece of s h i t out. Omg i spent 5 hours tryings to get it. I was even able to drop the transmission half way down but the front part was probably held on by the Throw-Out Bearing. Any ideas? I followed the instructions about pushing the clutch fork thingy to position A to compress it and then use a flathead and turn it 90 degrees to pop it out. **** doenst work.

You probably have to go out and buy the biggest flat head screw driver you can find. Little dinky ones won't work well. I had the same problem the first time I tried popping it off. But pushing it to position A and turing your flat head to 90 degrees at the same time is exactly how to pop it off. Maybe that will help. Just be patient and keep trying it and it will come off. The second time you do your clutch it pops off much easier. Go figure.......

We need a sticky for these kinda questions....

Seriously man, make a day or so out of it, drive to ER, get them installed, and get a tune.

I'm not sure if WestWerks does that kinda work, or Drift Office, but those are about your only two options for 'up north'.

installing cams and springs, is that something we can DIY or is it pretty work intensive?

i do know that a retune will be required post cams install.

^There is a tool that makes it easier, something to the tune of making hours worth of work take 1/2? I'm not sure how accurate that is, but I believe when I first did cams the estimate of work was ~8 hours? That may have taken into account it being a first time thing, but I can't remember.

WestWerks can do it, but since they don't tune the car you'd have to have someone else (such as ER) ballpark the tune and flash it post-install or limp it down there yourself.

Same here, Forsaken. I want to get a hold on some GSC S2 and beehives but I don't want to pay for the labor. I don't mind doing it myself but never done it. I been looking for video how to install.

Eh sticking with my Incredible for the time being. Nexus S kinda underwhelming in specs. I'll wait till the Mecha or something comes out.
