1974 Midget - Removing the Clutch

The goal of this particular project is to get the car roadworthy. A know condition prior to us getting the car was that the clutch needed to be replaced.

However, it turns out that the throw-out bearing was shredded and was actually the cause of the failure. The clutch plate itself was actually in good shape.

Not a wasted effort though, we would have had to do the same thing to repair that as well. This way everything will be replaced and that will be solid for a good while.

@zappa7777 sorry for the delayed response... depending on wether you have help or not, or if you're patiently taking the time to teach your son, times may differ... this job could probably be done in a weekend. We've got several things going at once... recondition fuel tank/lines/components and an overall mechanical restoration... car has been sitting for 18 years... will post more pictures and video that I've taken... priority now is to get it running so my son can take it to the Prom in 4 wks
