All

Trying to change my sons clutch in his Sapphire cosworth,and the 2 top bolts that hold the clutch bellhousing to the engine are pretty hard to get to.
Anyone who has done the clutch change advise if you use a `modified` spanner to get to the bolts ?

I have taken the exhaust off,to make some more room.

Thanks

 

They're not too bad to get out mate.

I've only ever used a normal spanner (17mm if 2wd, 13mm if 4wd) and never had any problems.

 

Once the engine has been angled down they are much easier to get at. I saw a mechanic friend go over the top with a long extension and boy was that a fast way to go

 

Not sure if these pics help??

 

Thats exactly how i did mine and is by far the quickest way

 

Everyone ,Thanks for the replys and advice.

 

All, I used a Halfords Pro Flexi Head Ratchet Spanner for the 2 top bolts,made life alot easier

i think i had about 4 extension bars on mine; dead easy

 

ratchet spanner + skinny arms = win
