• I started by making a centraliser in wood (broom handle) diameter 20 for 50 and diameter 14,8 for 22 cms.

• Take the plastic centre console off, and disconnect the cigarette lighter.

 
• Take the knobs off the gear levers and remove the boots.
• Take the gear lever off, using a screw-driver to extract the white collar.

 
• Disconnect the battery
• Take off the air filter assembly.
• Undo the bolts on the exhaust downpipe.
• Take off the supports on the intake pipe.

• Pull the starter towards the alternator.

• Take out the front propshaft.
• Disconnect the rear propshaft from the transfer box, and secure it to one side.

• Disconnect the transfer box connections.

• Disconnect the wire from the gearbox.

• Take out the split pin from the clutch slave cylinder and its fixing bolts.

• Put a jubilee clip round the rubber doughnut (between the gear-box and the transfer box).

• Take off the anti-roll bar.

• Take the protection off from under the catalytic converter, put the jack under the gearbox and take the crossbar off.

• Take the three bolts out of the doughnut from the gearbox side.

• Re-fit the gearbox cross-bar and put the jack under the transfer box.

• Undo the chassis mountings and let the transfer box down.

• Put the jack under the gearbox and take off the cross-bar.
• Take out the two top bolts (the one on the starter side is a bit difficult to get to).
• Take out the two lower bolts.
• Take out the two bolts from the front axle protection.

• Pull on the gearbox, let the jack down gently and disengage the gearbox.

• Take off the clutch machanism.

Put the new one in (use the centraliser for the new clutch disk).

• Take off the clutch release bearing assembly from the back of the box and fit the new one, and there you have it - the clutch is replaced, all that remains is to reassemble in the reverse of disassembly.
• Put the gearbox back and put a strap at the back through the tunnel opening (putting a bar across to pull on the strap).
• Put back the four bolts on the bell-housing, put the transfer box back, and put the nuts on the silentblocs.
• Put the jack under the gearbox
• Put the bolts back on the doughnut.
• Put the gearbox cross-bar back and also the starter, the anti-roll bar, the propshafts and the exhaust.
• Reconnect all the wires, and above all... make sure you haven't forgotten anything.
