Now that's dedication... But from my own experience, the more time you spend staring at something, especially as challenging as that, the more frustrated you get and the more things that will go wrong. But good luck, and be sure to take a lot of pictures so we can post a good DIY!

shiiiit im bout to do my clutch dis weekend then how tall?

The highest you can get really. The higher they are, the more room you have to work.


Edit-Also, i replaced my first clutch myself, paid for the second in a different car. I payed $400 on my dsm, a bit harder than an accord, but it was so worth it. I don't think i'll do a clutch again. Just so you have an idea of what you are getting into.

Make sure the jackstands are low enough so that they are still safe. I don't know how high mind are but they would be way too low to do this. But if they are too high, it could become a safety issue.

ok well how much room do i need (i guess i asked the wrong question)

I don't know, i did it with a lift when i did it. Probably almost 2 feet though. I don't know, picture chilling under your bed for 2 days. It is not very fun, i'll just say that.

And mine too... So I'm staying away. He knows what he's talking about, so make sure you study up really well if you attempt this. If you make it through, more power to ya, though. Help from a friend who knows would definately be a + I'm guessing...
