Hi Folks
Lately our little Fiesta has a developed a short 'squeak' when you lift off the clutch after changing gear. It's worse when cold. At 130,000km's I expect that it's a bit of slip with the clutch plate getting worn. I haven't changed a clutch in a front driver for 15 odd years, and I remember it as a fairly simple task, but that was on a 90's Pulsar. But looking through the WQ workshop manual, there's mention of 'special tools' etc, clutch aligners and so forth.. Has anyone here replaced the clutch themselves, how difficult is it? Can anyone tell me if I truly need these special tools? Or can I get away with common sense and elbow grease? Cheers
