def. 17mm.. 12 point.. and ull need someone or something to prevent crank from spinning, i was the b**** who had to prevent that on mine lol..
use a prybar, or even jack handle, put it in the flywheel gear, and have it leverage against the ground. works every time. same goes for when your torqueing them down. u cant just gun down the flywheel with an impact.
my best so far is 2.5 hours from start to finish on a clutch and flywheel install on a tiburon.
these cars are by far the easiest trans to pull. its beyond simple.

^^^ 2.5 is not bad at all. I spent 8 hrs this past sunday doing a clutch/flywheel on a 1995 Civic dx. A lot of stupid crap happened (Trans wouldnt pull off, thought I missed a bolt... was a dowel that was holding it TIGHT). Crappy Hayes manual... etc.
To make things worse, halfway tearing it down, I noticed the person was LOW on hydrolic fluid... low enough to get air in the lines. We decided to procede because we didnt know the condition of the clutch... it had about 40,000+ miles left on it mad.gif Last time I trust ANYBODY to do simple things like check clutch fluid first...

You sure are taking your sweet time doing this. It's been like a week now. It only takes me 3 hours to do the entire clutch job. nana.gif
