Well done, mine took me a couple of days inbetween family requirements and work. Does feel nice to complete a job like that on your own and the new clutch will feel great. Just bare in mind it needs a little bedding in with gentle driving before playtime.

I've done it before. 1st time took 2 days cuz I was working it out as I went along.

2nd time was 1 day

I suspect greendream is a superhuman nutjob on steroids and therefore probably did it in half a day. it's a ballache to do on axle stands like that !
