2pg Drive Clutch Removal

[frodrummer]

81 marathon. Its been a while since Ive asked this question, so I figured I would get a quick refresher. Do I need to remove the engine to swap out the drive clutch. Ordering a comet. Wasn't sure if I needed to completely remove the engine, or just remove the cradle bolts and jack up the engine? I removed the cover this way a while back, but even after removing all necessary bolts, the cover was a booger to get off and out. It kept hitting the fuel tank.

I don't mind pulling the motor, but I don't want to do things the hard way.

Ford I think pulling the engine is the easy way some may differ but with it out it's a ton easer to work on. I would also add look at the seal while your there and any clean up needed.

If you don't mind me askin, Frodrummer the comet clutch. Does it have more torque, than stock? And wher r u orderin it from? Sry., but this is all new to me.Txs. Mine is a 84' EC25-2pg Marathon.

I am sure that the comet clutch is going to provide more torque, Especially because my original clutch is getting worn out. 30 years has been rough on it. I will likely be ordering it from one of the site sponsors. Haven't figured out where exactly yet.
