To access the removal of the clutch and flywheel, it is necessary to remove the gearbox. In the case of the vehicle in question, this operation is not particularly difficult, as the gearbox is positioned at the rear of the engine, with the two driveshafts flanged: once the vehicle is lifted on the ramp, simply remove the connecting flanges of the driveshafts, the gearbox support, and the pins around the bell housing.

It is advisable to remove the gearbox with two people as it is quite heavy. Once the gearbox is removed, the clutch and flywheel kit is immediately accessible: it is always preferable to replace the latter as it tends to become unbalanced.
