OT - Saxo Clutch Replacement

Clutch is ok its the release bearing that's noisy (known fault i beleive)
Has anybody done one and is there anything i should look out for when doing it ?

I had a Saxo VTR (sold it now) and the same thing went - release bearing with rumbling like a good'un. For what the clutch kit costs, replace
the lot but it was a very easy job (to pay the local Clutch centre £200!!)
Be ready to replace some of the suspension bits if / when you cant get them off without damage!! Luckily i'd only just replaced drop links and
driveshafts so it all came apart nice n easy for the garage (he commented on it)

peice of cake !!
3 hours if you take your time .
my old saxo was 165 bhp +100 nitrous
so regually used to brake gear box's / clutch's
there very weak my advice is replace both gearbox seals where the drive shaft goes in only cost £10 and will save you loads of hassle when you realise
there leaking after re assembly .

I managed one in under three hours including cake stops.
Nothing out of the ordinary if you know how to use a set of tools!
