Yes, but I'm young, which automatically makes my impatience
trump yours. Gosh Brian, quit being so selfish.

It may not look like much - but that notch I'm guesstimating was killing 30% of the clutch travel!

That coupled with a quick bleeding made it a different car to drive.

Oh come on Brian go to Princess Auto pick up a 25 dollar angle grinder and go to town. One zip disk and 5 mins you can have the old one off and ready to install a new one. Canadian tire has replacement straps and clamps. Even if the old C-Clamp Exhaust clamp is rusted you can cut through 99% of it in 2 seconds with a zip disc on an angle grinder then use a hammer to pop off the last 1%. I do it that way so I don't accidently cut the exhaust pipe.   I know you are a suit and tie guy now. (insert slightly jealous person of your job) But you still know how to get dirty, dig deep and find your inner Redneck. Car Racing and Wrenching on cars go hand in hand. Bonus is working on cars is a whole lot cheaper than a Physciotherapist.
