found a crane to hire but would 500kg be enuff to take it out and put 1 in ??

unbolt the mounts from the under side of the sub frame, remove the slave cylinder from the gearbox, and underneath is the allen key for the clutch fork, you need to remove the alan key, and screw an m6 threaded bolt - normally a TEN mm into the clutch fork and leaver against the bolt to pull the bar out of the clutch fork, then the fork should lift of the release bearing up out of the top of box. as for power steering, remove air box etc and undo the power steering pump from the engine it self - less mess, leave the pipes attached and just pull it to one side, where the air box was.

hope this helps
