has anyone ever made a clutch disk assembly that has shoes on it that can be repaced with out removing the motor or transmitiom from the car or truck of any year or make?

Saab 900! You put a new disc in the top. Just remove the top cover, slide the splined shaft forward, disconnect the hydraulic line that operates the clutch, and unbolt the clutch, all with out creeping underneath! If the shaft didn't stick in the forward Chain sprocket (Chain sprocket???) it was about a hour. The Saab 900 drove through a chain. It was a very interesting and reliable design.

I've done several of those, Terry. Pretty trick design. Just compress the pressure plate & block it with a piece of fan belt, laid in backwards. Note: You can NEVER bleed the clutch hydraulic cylinders with your foot!! With a pressure bleeder, it only takes 3 nano-seconds. Bill W.
