After close to 15 hours of work the clutch job is DONE.
Fluids topped off and all.

What a headache (no seriously I have a bitchin headache)
I'll make a little thread later with some stuff..

Im interested in knowing wtf went wrong and why it wouldnt line up?

Im interested in knowing wtf went wrong and why it wouldnt line up?

I just didnt have the trans lined up exactly right. I knew it was splined into the clutch but it wouldnt slip past the pilot bearing. With another buddy around to help out we got it in after a good half hour of scratching our heads..
Cliff notes. Scuba = not very strong. 2nd person helping = good. Trans wasnt lined up right

LOL.. I kinda figured it came down to an alignment issue, usually does. Glad to hear its in. Bet the clutch feels way different dont it? I changed one once and the pedal feel was drastic-released much higher when bad and much lower when new.

Today I worked on my atv and didnt get to far. Was hoping to get the steering stem back on. Got the bar clamps on it and lined them up after a bit, but upon trying to get the bearing out i screwed up and didnt realize it had a c-clip in it, well after much pounding and mangling the bearing (it was dirty in there so that mighta not been why i could find it??) im not left with a c clip my pliers wont get out. Can get it a bit out then it slips..going to the shop AM tomorrow to see about another kinda pliers maybe or maybe ill try some large needlenose or hell cut the thing off. Already ordered 3 new ones just incase..

finals are done, fall quarter is completed! math went ok. fourier series can [string of expletives deleted] itself. hope i passed! physics was another story... nothing on that exam was from the book, lecture, or previous exams. i also hope i passed!

tomorrow im going to get my tail light swapped out, drop the front bumper and get to stripping it for new paint. hopefully the rain holds off until the night (but i doubt it will...)

^Meh, just get out of Calc and go back to geometry, then you can play w/ fractals..

The atv c-clip beat me. heres the story..

All that pounding probably frigged the snap ring, my snap ring pliers wont get it out-just keeps slipping on the ring catches. Go and get some other snap ring pliers from the shop today and still no luck. Ok I finally break down and go buy the dremel I been wanting for 5 years now (of all the tools I have I always borrowed one of these from someone lol) and begin to cut and grind the sucker off.

Half hour later I finally get the mangled thing off. Didnt damage the frame to much either. Woulda prefered no damage but what can you do. I just hope everything sits right in there now since the frames been a bit marred up. Probably seal it well with some silicone on the dust seal or maybe bearing grease.

Ugh..annoyances..

The newness :
English Lit is over - Thank God.
My GF just went back to Disney to work for a few weeks. Good for her, but I miss the heck outta her...
Working on my rear bumper project, it's slow going but I'm making progress...
Work is bumping right along, I like being in the produce business, people gotta eat, that means I have to work, which means I can afford to eat...

Ehh... Other than that, not much is "new"

The wife is tired of me using the "family trailer" to haul things. I use it for my 4wheeler and weekly i deliever food pack to schools so kids will have something to eat while away from school. I am always fixing the trailer due to my broter in law and others. This morning i heard the sweetest words..."Why dont you keep your eye out for a good used toyota truck". I amost wrecked the runner with the nerdy fist pump and the YESSSSSSS!
