Subject: Clutch Change
I'm hoping to do the clutch & fit the lightened flywheel this weekend.

I've read & understood the Haynes way to do it, are ther any other things I need to know?

Can it be done without swinging the L/H upright out of the way?

Location: Tamworth, Staffs		Just pull the gearbox out from the top, then pull the clutch and flywheel off, fit new ones and then drop the box back in. as long as its all been apart before especially the subframe gearbox arm then you should be able to have it all done with 3hrs max.

Location: Midlands		I did it before with leaving the box actually in the car...take the LH front hub out, then unbolt the box and pull it over to the LH side of the car and leave it resting on the subframe

Location: Tamworth, Staffs		Just abit awkward to get the flywheel off tho, as the box is already partially out might aswell remove it completely out of the way to save fecking around
