So I went to install a new clutch in my Ranger yesterday, and as I've come to expect from this thing, it fought me every step of the way. Went to drop the exhaust out of the way and the bolts that connect the Y-pipe to the manifolds wouldn't move on the passenger side. Just to get the pipe down I ended up having to cut the bolts with a torch, but now I'm left with a problem. How the heck do I get remaining bit of bolt out of the flange?
Earlier today I got back to working on it, and I found what looks like cracks on the flywheel surface. Think these are too bad for a resurface? Or am I stuck buying a new flywheel? When I run my finger over them, it doesn't feel like they go down far enough to matter, but I'm no expert on these things.
