How long should it take to change an 89 Honda Accord clutch?

Im no mechanic but still know my way around a garage. I hear the sway bar drop is easier then going the ball joint way. Any info would be awsome.How long should it take to change an 89 Honda Accord clutch?just cruisin along not trying to braek any records or parts its hard to say how long it'll take you. really depends on what kind of probs you run into if you run into any at all. I'm gonna say if your not done in 3 to 4 hours or if the finish line isnt at least in sight by then you may want to take a break and maybe invite a friend who you feel also knows his or her way around the garage and tool box to come over and help you wrap it up. just for the sake of two heads are better than one (usually). oh and about the torsion bar thing Please do your self a favor leave that thing alone. just remove the axels the way they were meant to be removed you'll and when you put the ball joint back together be sure to pay close attention to the flat side of the ball joint stud and make sure you line it up with the flat side of the hole. If it's set up like that and it gets overlooked it will go together without any notice-able problems, but later on will come apart while the vehicle is in motion trust me, not a pretty mess. But still its way more worth it than attempting to remove those axles without dropping the ball joint. Besides in order to r%26amp;r that trans you may ebd up with the torsion bar off anyway as well. If your find you have access Mitchell Manuals are very user friendly. and You could also call your locall mechanic and ask him what the Michell or Chilton book time is for R%26amp;R on that clutch.How long should it take to change an 89 Honda Accord clutch?Maybe 2-4 hrs.Extra time to resurface flywheel or easier to replace it.How long should it take to change an 89 Honda Accord clutch?About 4hrs to 5hrs at home no power tools and a couple of 12 packs later.How long should it take to change an 89 Honda Accord clutch?You must look at a repair book, like a Chilton's....'cause you're getting into all kinds of strange territory with Honda's...and do you have metric tools? Have fun. Oh, have patience too.....like for a few days if you're going to spend 8 or more hours a day on this.....'cause you just %26quot;know you're way around the garage%26quot; huh? Well. An experienced Honda mechanic, trained, certified, could do it in 1 day. I'm a fulltime mechanic, but if someone came to me, I'd turn it down...I've got enough problems now. Like I said....have fun.
