The first time you do a clutch it's much easier with the hood off. A bolt on each side and it slides and lifts right out. A helper is a plus, especially when putting the hood back on.
With the hood off, your back will be much happier when you are unscrewing the lower 5mm hex head screw holding the clutch slave. Even with the hood off, your back will get tired. Some have been able to use a small 1/4 inch ratchet and allen socket, but clearance is limited.
When you have the new clutch kit in and are ready to remove the wire from the pressure plate fingers do not overpump the clutch. Extend the piston just enought to pull the wire out. If you overpump, the slave piston will come out and can easily jam in the cylinder. Then you get to "do-over."
