So i havent seen a writeup on how to replace the clutch...so i decided to do one...my bosses 2dr jk's release bearing went and since his brother owns the company he had me do it at our shop...
first things first...if you have never done a clutch replacement before on any type of vehicle this can be extremely rough for you especially if you dont have the right tools
if you dont have access to a lift, like i didnt, its gonna suck even more doing it on jack stands but it can be done just takes longer...jeep pays 7 hours for this repair it took me the better part of 10 hours on the floor...luckily i get paid by the hour and i got time and a half for this
i have attached pics and will be going step by step with the pics below (for the most part)
remember SAFETY FIRST, no joke, if you think something might not be safe, it probably isnt
pb blaster is your friend
bring the truck in and make sure you have enough room around it to work
disco the batts
remove center console
-pop off the handles with a 5/8ths wrench
-remove the 4 torx screws that hold the console
-pull ebrake all the way up and remove console pull console up from rear
remove shift tower torx bit and pull off shift tower
you now have to remove the lower boot cover and a foam insert to access the top cover
