A clutch alignment tool should be installed through the clutch disc hub to support the clutch disc during removal.

Typically, to access clutch components, it is recommended to remove the transmission while leaving the engine in the vehicle. It is advised to replace clutch components whenever the engine or transmission is removed because of the relative ease of replacement compared to the labor involved in gaining access to them. This ensures that the clutch components are in good condition and can prevent the need for future disassembly to address clutch-related issues.

Inspect the pressure plate's machined surfaces and diaphragm spring fingers. Replace it if damaged and clean all components thoroughly. For self-adjusting pressure plates, pre-adjust them using a hydraulic press or seek professional adjustment if necessary.

Inspect all clutch components, including the flywheel for defects, and check the pilot bearing. Ensure the clutch disc has adequate lining thickness, lacks loose rivets, and is free of damage. It's recommended to replace the release bearing along with the clutch disc.
