Be careful, and use a 6 point socket! Those strip easily.

update:

I got all the bolts off the clutch, but I think I have to spray some pentrate on it (stuck on pretty dang good lol).

Other then that, I wasn't able to do as much as I wanted >_>... was busy with lots of other things.

but oh well, at least I got somewhere :wink:

there are 2 or 3 dowel pins that locate the the pressure plate. You should be able to gently pry it off.

i tried gently "prying" it off... but maybe i'm being too gentle haha.

edit:

got it off. Wasn't so hard.

Now that I can see the clutch, I'll try your method. though, I don't know if I have the tranny bolt since I do not have the Manual tranny yet
