I usually lock the e-brake and hit the wrench with a BFH. After a 2-3 hits they come loose then I release e-brake and rotate and repeat. Or have some one to work the e-brake for you to make it go more quickly.

I was a dumbass and unbolted the axles before the yoke so that option was gone, though about it as the axles were hanging out of the ass of the car lol. I guess I'll be doing that next weekend lol.

Hey Longfellow, if your clutch takes a dump I'll give you the Spec stage1 that came in my S14. Should only have 1k miles on it so far and feels great.

For the yoke bolts, I jam a long screwdriver through the open part of the u-joint so that when I twist the driveshaft, it hits the chassis. Then I get a long 14mm wrench and just lean on it. My weapon of choice is a Craftsman 12/14mm double box-end, which is nearly a foot long. You'll never get there with a pussy 7" regular combo wrench.

If the clutch plate itself lets go, then I'll replace the plate with a decent ACT unit for like 150$. Because the Pressure plate shouldnt be bothered. But its a wait and see type thing now. Hopefully the chip wont affect anything.
I've been more than happy with ACT, I have the lower end one and it's held up great. I was surprised to see how much is left when I just pulled the motor last week and the PP is still in great shape .

Fixed door sag. Can't believe how many bolts it takes to remove an S14 fender. Going to wire tuck the fender harness next.
