I think I'm going to borrow the tool from my old work so I'll be ready. Now I just need the parts to arrive.

My buddy Jimmy can do it, he worked at Total Induction in South Windsor. His rates are ridiculously good. PM me if you are interested

He has worked on my Camaro and my Cobalt

I don't think so as the SS cars were 5 lug and most other cobalts/ions are 4 lug. SSBC makes a rear conversion kit though.

As for a clutch, My family has a mechanic we go to and have been for years if you feel like a trip down to Shelton. His rates have always seemed fair and my friends have gotten small discounts there for saying I'd referenced them. PM me for info.
