zrt clutch bolt stuck

[blvette]

Trying to get clutch off engine, bolt is loose but won't come out, anybody have any ideas.

You need a clutch puller to thread into the clutch for removal.
If you are trying to take it off without a puller, you won't get far.

Get a long needle-nose pliers and grab the head of the bolt and pull it out. There are two spacers on the bolt one is aluminum and the other is plastic. The plastic one sometimes gets a little crushed or deformed from heat and sticks to the bolt making it hard to pull the bolt out. Just get a good grip on the bold head and pull, it will come out.

Well Der,,, I guess I need to read better. I completely missed that the bolt is what you are trying to get out.
Anyway, 6mile nailed it.

Trying to weld a cast alum part is a waste of time, just replace it.
