BUT you need a clutch alignment tool or you may fook it up........

mate i cant realy answer that i had the engine out

but going on what i did like i said those top bolts will be a right pain

i would imagine get the engine on a jack drop the back end down as low as poss

long extension bar and if i remember right 17mm bolts may be 19mm

to be honest i dont mind rear wheel drive clutches split the prop shaft it will

all drop off

no bloody drive shafts and balljoints to split

one more thing get your car has high has you can you will be spending afew hours under there
