Im trying to switch out the clutch on my 00 Camaro 3800. Well, i havent gotten very far, just removed a small crossmember and the front end torqe arm. The major problem im having is that my bolts on my drive shaft are extremly tight, and i have no air tools. If i can get my drive shaft off, then out comes the tranny and pop in the clutch and im done...but i cant..any tips or pointers?

are you using 1/2in. tools or 3/8? have you tried using a breaker bar?

Have both, and they both give same results, as for the breaker bar i havent tried it yet. they just seem..oddly tight. The problem might be they havent been off in maybe 2 years...

Solved the whole situtation, trannys now off to the side, gotta wait for tommorow to finsh because of the resufacing of the flywheel....BY THE BY PEOPLE: Trannys are a BIT** to get off the first time, i really mean first time. none of the bolts are broken in..blah blah blah..it just sucks...
