1947 Ford Flathead Clutch Replacement

[Sprattman]

Hello,

I have a 1947 Ford Four Door Super Deluxe V-8 Flathead (suicide doors) with 59AB engine and 3 on the tree transmission and am experiencing slippage in the clutch so have ordered a new clutch. Reading through Ford Barn posts, I read that I have a choice to either remove the engine or the rear end and saw a few tips and tricks on the rear end method and how it may be desirable. My ask is to have someone share their step by step experience so I am clear on working on the right things and avoid performing actions that are unnecessary or possibly dangerous, say like removing the axles or springs or whatever. BUT I do want to do what is right and order the right tools and prepare accordingly. It would suck to do a lot of rear end work only to realize I need to pull the engine... Thanks in advance. Dan
