HDi Clutch Change

[C2K]

Imagine the bolts are hockey stick shaped. When they're in, the L of the stick is engaged as a captive measure for the long shaft intermediate bearing. With the nut cracked, you'll notice you can't rotate the stick at all. As the nut reaches the end of the thread and the stud becomes loose, push the stud to move the free length towards the drivers side to disengage the little hockey stick head, and you'll notice you can rotate it now - if you can't you've not gone far enough (don't take it off as you will cause yourself grief lol). Once you can rotate it, physically watch yourself rotate it 180 degrees from the starting postion and repeat for the 2nd one and hey presto the shaft will disengage.

Reverse to reassemble.

Mine was still quite stubborn, I hooked all my socket extensions together with a small blunt allen key socket on the end so it stuck out the passenger arch. One short, sweet thump with a hammer and hey presto, shaft out.
