I used a SACHS kit. It came with PP, Disc, throw out bearing and pilot bearing. I bought a primary case oil seal for the clutch shaft.Nice kit.
I replaced the slave cylinder and rebuilt the the clutch master.
It was very difficult to get the old clutch out as the slave cylinder would not compress the springs enough. I used a pry bar to depress the springs.
Heating the oil seal with a torch made it just pop out. I heated the pilot bearing also and after it cooled it worked out with the help of pentrating oil (Kroil).
Tying the clutch,disc and slave together with wire ties worked. I threaded the tie through the PP fingers , a hole in the disc, and through the slave mounting holes(w/ T/O bearing installed on the slave) . I did this in three places. Leave the big end of the ties exposed so you can cut it off. Had to connect two together to make it long enough.
We used an arbor press to compress the PP fingers and was able to insert a 1/4 spark plug wire to hold them.
Its a 2 man job to do this job easily.
