Or you could spend $140 on the tool thingy for the press from atkins....

But there really isn't a point in replacing the bearings unless you have significant wear on them.

That's according to most engine builders, I forget the reason why I think it has something to do with them breaking in.

Cool, good to know. I would have guessed it would not be rated for that.

I'd say around noon. The Kenwood kit I got him comes with 6.5's, not sure if 6 x9 's will fit in the rear, Hondas are weird. I'd have to look it up. I'd also like to install the Bazooka in his car too.

I just bring them and we can check it out... to install the bazooka you will need 8 gauge wire and fuse to run from the battery I will bring a long RCA cable to go to the bazooka...

Does this look about right? I'm fed up with the noise coming from my transmission and I figure I need to replace stuff. What am I missing/Does SARX have some of those tools already?

the guys that were there know that on my way home...like 2 minutes away from Scott's house as I depressed my clutch pedal it gave normal resistance for half of the pedal stroke, then went all the way to the floor. I felt some 'wobble' in my left foot just before it went to the floor. Then I had to pull the pedal back up with my foot. I thought the clutch bracket broke, but when I got home and looked at it I was unable to find the crack that normally occurs right at the weld point. I am going to order the clutch replacement kit tonight from Mazdatrix, rent a car for the week, and hopefully do the install next weekend... Assuming I can get some help. I have not dropped the transmission on the 8. I've only read DIY's and the shop manual.
