<< Speaking of clutch plates rusted to flywheels, does anyone have an easier

fear of breaking stuff in the transmission)? (ie) is there any type of
"tool" that anyone has made, or used, that can be stuck through the
inspection hole, or somewhere else, to grab the clutch plate and pull it
loose? >>
Set the Emergency Brake, Lock the wheels up, Put the car in gear and start
the engine.
Better have really good brakes or a little room for frog hopping though.
Good Luck
