RE: Replacing the Clutch
All right first you're going to need a metric socket set, rachets, metric open end box wrench set, screwdrivers, Transmission jack, floor jacks (I'd actually recommend taking the car somewhere to get it done if you don't know how as it is MUCH easier to do this on a lift), Possibly need impact gun and sockets, bearing alignment tool for your specific car/transmission, and probably various other small tools. Again if you're not sure what you're doing it's going to be to your benefit to either find a friend that DOES to help OR have a shop do it.

Yeah if I'm not mistaken you have to remove BOTH halfshafts remove the subframe and take off at least 1 or 2 motor mounts. FWD cars DUCK to do a clutch on SEVERELY and it's worse if you're doin it in a driveway cuz you can't hardly SEE shyt due to the fact that you're in a confined space instead of the mass room a lift will give you. Now if you were military you'd have access to the hobby shop which has lifts (I LOVED that place $1 a day to use a bay).

Exactly. Something THAT big you DEFINATELY want SOMEONE to be held accountable instead of yourself if something goes wrong. remember that not only do you have to replace the clutch but there are adjustments that need made as well.
