The following guide explains the correct steps necessary for proper clutch disassembly. Start by removing the front wheels as the components of the gearbox are located at the front of the car. Once the wheels are off, proceed to disassemble the shock absorbers, taking care during this phase of disassembly.

You will then need to disconnect the starter motor to prevent any fire risk. Following this, perform minor tasks such as draining the used gearbox oil, removing the gear lever, disconnecting it, and removing the clutch cable.

Finally, remove the clutch disc and pressure plate from the flywheel by unscrewing the nuts that connect these two parts, allowing you to remove the clutch disc.
