Anybody done this, do you need to remove passenger drive shaft.

You have to remove the passenger side drive shaft from the box, you may get away with leaving hanging out of the wheel bearing if you can get enough room. I normally take the whole left hand knuckle off and be done with it because 9 times out of 10 the shaft will be stuck fast in the hub

Thanks Robbie

Do you mean the bolts holding it to the strut.
Is it just a case of pulling the shaft off the diff, or tapping it off with a hammer.
what about lining the plate up, is it straightforward enough.

Yeah, remove the track rod end, remove the 2 17mm bolts where the knuckle is bolted to the shocker and the 2 17mm where the knuckle is bolted to the lower arm. The drive shaft can be "popped" out of the diff with a pry bar. Either align the clutch disc by eye or use an aligning tool Not a job I'd relish doing on axle stands

thanx Robbie, clutch should be nearly gone now after 189k, but not slipping yet.

You make it sound simple Robbie, is it just a case of seperating the engine and gearbox in situ enough to remove the clutch from the engine?

Found a clutch being sold new for 78.91 + VAT.

You have to seperate the engine and gearbox and put the gear box on the floor It is simple...... with the right tools/experience
