Firstly you will need at least two jacks if your not using a four poster or a ramp.

 

Secondly make sure you have a good quality set of Torx drivers and sockets.

 

Thirdly make sure you change the slave cylinder and

 

Finally release the bleed nipple before you reassemble it or it can be a blinking pain when it shears itself off after you have reassembled it all.

 

 

 

After all that take about eight hours and the job should be done. (Done it)

And make sure you've got the right size clutch alignment tool! I spent hours trying to get a Volvo 440 box back on a couple of years ago. In the end, I went and bought a new alignment tool. It then popped straight back on in a couple of minutes! Sometimes, its a false economy to try and make do!

 

Good luck, please take pics for the rest of us!

Cheers,
