Yes it look's real easy on the several you-hou videos, the muscles in the middle of my back are still sore and I did this monday. That was probably the hardest thing I had to do to this T. After the cover was on it was real fun to line up all those bolt holes.

Lowering the cover and trying to keep the darned clutch release ring from rolling upward with its weight was really fun. Was finally able to get that cover on, clutch release ring into rear groove on clutch shaft, gaskets good and not torn up in the process

Bolted down and installed the oil level gauge, thanks Tim Morsher. Rags installed around bands and next step to adjust for initial break in. Thanks to Langs installing the linings/parts and Scott Conger for installation/adjustment help.

Never fun. I recently saw someone using a plastic wire tie on the clutch brass C, going to try that next time. Pix dont show how much was removed. I remove the starter & exhaust manifold.
If you thought that was tough, volunteer to do that for your buddies center door.

John, after that job I would be reluctant to help but would as a first timer I know from experience it's easier the next time you try

I did remove the exhaust pipe/starter ect, getting by the manifold was not a problem. I did remove most of the "in the way stuff" the darned cover assembly just was heavier than I expected.

I will admit I only hit my head on the steering column once...yes I did remove the steering wheel. It was tight in my Fordor.

I removed the cover in my 24 Coupe years ago when I was a little younger. Nowadays if I was to do it again I would remove the firewall to give more working room. When your younger and dumber and bend around like pretzel you can do things but now? I’ll be smarter and go slower and do things the easier way so you can have more room.
