Clutch Replacement ?

[CMF_mickyh7]

Hi Guys,I've replaced quite a few clutches in my time ,but never a Micra!
How long should it take me.
I don't have a Garage ,so it will be getting done on my driveway.I have a 'Haynes' Manual, but often find it tells you to remove parts you don't really need to !
Any tips or suggestions will be welcome.
Thanks - Mick.

they,re pretty straight forward mick, i usually remove the n/s headlamp plug and battery tray and secure the loom/tray etc to the n/s bonnet hinge.
then access to the bolts is easy, then i remove the 4 bolts in the rear mount and lower the g/box to the floor (starter motor and shafts in situ if you prefer)
1/2 a day if you,re tooled up (the location bushes/collars tend to seize in btw)

np mick, if you fit a loose fitting nut and bolt into the front hole (in pic) i find it slides back on a treat

Yeah should take you around 3-4 hours but do the rear main at the same time just cos its all off. Good luck mate

And it only took 3.5 hours! Saved around £250 GB pounds ! Not even such a difficult job.
Shame about the oil stains on my driveway ! The Wife is not impressed !
Thanks to all who contributed.
