To remove the clutch components without taking the engine out, first of all, start by removing the transaxle from the vehicle. Use an engine support fixture or hoist to ensure that it is properly supported. Put a clutch alignment tool through the clutch disc hub to hold up the clutch disc as you remove it. For proper aligntment make sure that there are indexing marks on both sides of a flywheel and pressure plate or manually put them in place. Gradually loosen criss-cross patterned pressure plate-to-flywheel bolts, take them off and then remove the pressure plate and clutch disc. Check for defects on the flywheel that can be cured by machining its surface flat and smooth at a machine shop. The lining of the clutch disc should be inspected for wear and damage, focusing especially on loose rivets, cracks, broken springs/dampers among others. Generally speaking, replace your old friction material with new one. Also replace a faulty release cylinder/release bearing assembly for your safety. Look over pressure plates for signs of glazing, excessive wear or damage, replacing as necessary. Carefully clean all surfaces of flywheel and pressure plate using an appropriate solvent or brake parts cleaner as necessary. Position an aligning tool against both sides of flywheel so as to centre clutch plate before tightening clamping screws crisscrosswise one after another until they get tight enough in specified order (torque). Reinstall previously removed transaxle plus put back release cylinder into place too.
