z31 clutch replacement. Need some help please.

I doubt it will fit, but I haven't done a clutch on a VG Z31, so I can't say for sure.

Heat is all but required when working with exhaust stuff, especially if you live up north. You may have luck with some "turbo sockets" or the like, but be careful. A broken manifold bolt will not be fun to fix on your back.

nut extractor is an option, what I had to do on one of mine, the other 2 broke the studs. tried to drill out…didnt work, wound up welding 3 bolts to the elbow, to bolt the down pipe down.

an option I didnt take advantage of at the time - somehow (cutoff wheel?) cut up the side of the nuts to release the pressure/hold on the stud, soaking in PB or other releasing agent is a great idea. once cut off a side, try to unbolt, if it will not turn, go ahead and cut the rest of the way off.

if youre careful and lucky, you will only need to replace the nuts (tighten carefully), and chase the threads of the studs!

I also had to whack the DP a few times to free it from the elbow joint! haha.

thankfully there is reasonable room to work on the elbow to downpipe area! but sadly YES it HAS to come off for trans drop.

We'll I just cut the exhaust where it bends. Now im dealing with the stupid bolts on t he drive shaft to rear diff.
I found a shop that will repair my exhaust for me, but im thinking about just getting a new downpipe and going straight pipe. I dunnop. I'll figure that out this weekend. Till then. the four bolts on the driveshaft are giving me hell.

…FML…
there are nuts on the other side of the bolt that will easily be removed…
Back to the car I go.
