update pic, got the pivot ball out (having ratchet wrenches is the best)

Was there any grease on that?

i do not remember. if not i bet thats what help caused it to snap.

update:

Got the tranny out, now just waiting on the pivot ball and rear tail seal.



then i ran into another problem. I was trying to loosen up the nut for the engine mount so the motor can have some play to swing back a bit, consequently, the nut strip. I tryed the bolt out method and that didnt work. however i came up with a new idea.


that idea is to take another nut and weld it to the pre-existing nut and try that, so far i havent got that far yet.

Very common, with the nut on the lower side it sees more moisture and seizes to the stud. It's also at a slight angle when you hit it with a socket so it doesn't sit flush on the nut. I cut one off a car with a sawzall not long ago that was rounded off.

don_bagz - There's no need to 'check' yours. If the clutch works, it's not broken, it's not like it's a wear item that gets worse over time, it's either working or broken in half and you have no clutch.
