Probably elementary question----Restoring 67.5  SPL311 to drive-around
status---engine almost ready,(rings,crank bearings,carbs,etc) runs pretty
well....Clutch allows a bit of movement of the car forward and backward
(transm  works) but only on level..It slips on the slughtest grade. The
adjusting nuts on the piston rod that position the clutch yoke look to be at
their limit(almost smack against the piston rod boot). All of which is telling
it's necessary  to rebuild the clutch. The  manuals I have
(Clymers,Worldbooks,etc) don't seem to like to write much about clutches....
To rebuild is it necessary to remove the engine ? or can it reasonably be done
by working from the rear i.e. some disassembling of the transm support,
transm,drive shaft, etc .?  other suggestions ?
Thanks for your help
