so im putting a new cluth in my truck, a 95 f150,300 inline 6, 5 speed, bellhousing part of trans not separate like older models
got the new cluth and pressure plate in fine, new pilot bearing(was a little difficult but not too bad), trans is out and on the ground...also got a new pilot bearing with the clutch, so figure might as well replace that before it goes out in a week and i gotta drop the trans again to replace it(would be my luck)...my transmission is on the ground now and i cant figure out how to get the old throw out bearing out..ive disconnected the hydraulic line.was told by one person i need a special tool but he didnt know what it was called, by another it should just slide off(didnt work, thats the first thing i tried), by a ford mechanic "i dont know", and someone else told me to pry it off with two ball joint forks which seems kinda sketchy..so what i figured would be the easiest part of the whole thing has turned out to be the hardest...
how do i get this thing off to get the new one on the right way?
parents arent happy with how the driveway looks and i gotta be on the road by thursday night to fish..anyhelp appreciated
