| Use a cutoff bolt with a slot cut in it. |
Making a clutch installation a one man job might be as easy as some bolts with the heads cutoff. This trick will work for installing the flywheel as well as the pressure plate which is also called the cover assembly.
Check this YouTube video out HERE to see what we mean.
Where this really helps is on flywheels and clutch covers that weigh a lot. If you put these two studs at roughly 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock then you can slide the flywheel or clutch cover on these studs and then start the other bolts without fear of dropping.
You fingers and feet will thank you. If you're not wearing steel toed boots (and that still may not keep you from injury) and you drop a flywheel or pressure plate on your feet....well we don't have to describe how that might turn out.
Of course, in order to truly make this a one man job you may still need a transmission jack and a car lift.
