one up him and remove your drivers side floorpan too. your braking will improve too (but you might go through shoes faster)

I did, its not bad at all. Just start pulling bolts, but be prepared for a mess. the leak detect fluid or whatever it is will splooge everywhere. wear gloves and work on a pan or something. get the carb/brake cleaner ready.

If you have c clip pliers you can easily pull the pulley and remove the clutch. it's been a while since I did it, but it was really easy, just messy. And the compressor mechanism is insane if youve never seen one before.

from what i remember there was a dust cover on the front of the pulley, with a c clip underneath. i think there was 2 or 3 c clips total holding the pulley and clutch assembly on. Again, its been a year since ive done it.

Lol that's probably the best one yet. Idk honestly, with all the parts I've taken off, parts I've put on. Gutted trunk, no hvac or radio, the wheels and tires. I couldn't even give an estimate.
