Fiesta clutch

[Roman Knows]

My daughter in law has a 2003 1.4 petrol fiesta with a standard 5 speed box. The clutch has finally given up on life so my new year gift from her will be to spend a day crawling around on the floor replacing it. I'd be grateful if someone could forewarn me if the job is going to be a complete nightmare or should it be straight forward?

Hi , should be quite straight forward .i leave wishbones on the hubs but take them off the subframe / 4 bolts in total and swing them out the way , pop the shafts and take o/s shaft off out the way , there is no drain bung ! pull the clutch pipe off and cap it so you dont lose all the fluid / makes it easier to bleed . about 20 bolts / bell housing / starter and mounts / gear cables ect and its out . new clutch and slave and back in . easy bleed or similar and you are done . .takes me a couple of hours all in on a ramp .

Many thanks for that, doesn't sound too horrific. Time to dust off the tools and get dirty
