Remove the subframe carefully and store it away safely. Proper support has to be given to the pump and the steering rack. Remove the brackets used for gearbox mounting. After removing the bolts, drive shaft can be removed. Now the bolts used for securing bell housing can be removed.  Now move away from the work area after lowering the gearbox. Now you are expected to have enough clearance so that the removal of clutch can be carried out without any hitches. Now you can examine the flywheel to see any signs of excessive wear.

Clean the debris around the bell housing.  With the help of high grease make sure that the plate can slide very freely. This confirms the connection of the kit and spreads grease evenly. Clear the excess grease from the shaft. Now the clutch has to be bolted evenly and to the flywheel in the sequential order. Check for the damages or dislocation of the dowels and replace them wherever necessary. Refit all the mountings securing the bolts properly and see the clutch repair is complete. Now all the components can be refitted in the reverse order in which they were removed. At this stage do not forget to pour the correct grade oil to the grearbox.
