I had a problem with clutchheads on the WHOLE truck.. While disassembling,
they pretty much all either stripped or broke. I have no respect for the
clutchhead concept and will not use them at all when reassembling. Even my
clutchhead screwdrivers are all stripped and broken after using them on one
truck!
