[Mortgaged]

Take the time to replace the front seal on the creeper unit. These are cheap and readily available from advertisers. It's not fun to get everything back together only to find that the seal leaks and you need to take it all apart again!

There is a circular mark on the original driveshaft where it needs to be cut. Pretty easy to do, even with a hacksaw if needed. You might as well replace your throwout bearing while you've got the clutch apart too.
