So i am attempting to do a clutch job on my 951 and it seems the coupler sleeve connecting the tranny to the torque tube is on really tight. Does anyone know if the allen bolts holding the coupler on are torqued down tremendously. has anyone ever had a problem loosening these two allen bolts to remove or slide the coupler. or do i just need a breaker bar to loosen thes two bolts. I may try to heat them up a little with a blow torch and use some liquid wrench to see it makes it any easier. Im thinking they just need to be un torqued. does anyone have any advice as how to remove these bolts so that i can dismantle my tranny from my torque tube so that i can replace my clutch. Or am i not using enough pressure to get these loose. i dont want to break anything. Please any help will do.,

You will need a breaker bar with allen socket. These are tight, but 40-50 foot pounds should loosen the bolts. Remove the bolts from the coupler before sliding the coupler around. Do hold good pressure on the allen so as not to strip out the head.

I would also recommend a good 1/2 drive allen socket set. I bought a decent set of westward ones from Acklands. 3/8 drive may break on you and damage the allen bolt.

I might be doing that exact job today. Just need to finish pulling bell housing off and yard out crank and hardware from the block first.
