The easy way to change a fiero clutch is to use a hoist raise the car off the engine/trans/cradle assembly, Remove the transmission and access the clutch. (THERE IS A LOT LESS WORK TO BE DONE IF YOU SIMPLY UNBOLT THE EXHAUST AND THE MOTOR MOUNT AND PULL THE ENGINE FROM THE CRADLE AFTER YOU HAVE PULLED THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY! THIS WAY THERE IS NO REASON TO PULL ANY BALL JOINTS OR AXLES. AND THE ENGINE HAS STOCK PULLING EYE POINTS TO GRAB IT WITH.)
Next hardest is to raise the rear of the car so the rear of the car is raise a minimum of three feet clear of the ground. Remove rear wheels disconect park brake cables etc. Support the engine, i ussualy do this by using a crossmember above the engine suported by the shock towers. Next loosen but do not remove the front cradle bolts. Disconect the following, exshaust at the down pipe where the system conects to the engine from the portion mounted on the cradle. Disconect the control arms at the ball joint and pull the half shafts out, usually I can get away with only pulling the drivers clear of the wheel bearing and hub assembly, the other I can usaualy get clear of the trans without disturbing that hub assembly. Unhook all conections to the cradle, engine mounts ground cable etc. Remove the rear cradle bolts, the cradle will need to be lowered to the ground, heavy and dangerous, it should pivot on the front bolts to alow access to the back of the trans. Carefull with the hydraulics as these are getting very rare or expensive as are the shift cables. Reinstall reverse proccess. This is dirty dangerous and no fun. I only do this if I powder my clutch far from home and can't aford to have a trany shop do it. But it can be done with basic hand tools and some patience.
The hardest way is to pull the engine out the top. It will come as long as the exshaust manifolds are pulled. Allow several hours to drill out broken exhaust manifold bolts any time you disturb them. The only time I did this type of engine pull on a fiero I covered the rear window with cardboard to protect it from my stupidity.
