While changing the clutch what else could be done... Options

[My2Celi]

Since my first stickshift Celica. This is my first time ever changing the clutch on it. I got a Chifton book hoping it help me. It kinda did but not really. It was such a pain trying to take out the tranny. Its not even down yet! So far i got all the damn bolts out on the crossmember with my bare hands, i even had to use my two legs pushing the ranch to even budge it! lol i look like a weaka$$ bit$h holding onto another car pushing it. my neighbor saw what i was doing with his car he laughed and said its okay. lmao. My next step is taking out the driveshaft. My dad is gonna lend me his 30mm socket or watever fits to take it out. anywho i was wondering while the tranny is out is there anything else i can do while its out? i dont wana EVER EVER EVER do it again. It was horrible my day off and its not even change. This is at my apt. standing on jacks. ghettoness... so give me some advice or what else is there to do while its gonna b down soon. THANKS (ill charge everything to my card to get it over with as long as i dont ever have do it again )

yea, i gotta agree with the doc on this one...ive never heard of flywheel bolts not being reusable unless there damaged in some way...
there not listed as a non-reusable part in the BGB either.
all that it calls for in the BGB is threadlocker on the bolts, and 65 ftlbs. of torque.
also on the drivers side axel, best way ive found to get it out, is just like the BGB says, an old fasioned L shaped tire iron used as a pry bar to pop it out.
sometimes a whack with a rubber mallet or whatever is needed..lol
