When I do this I take three nuts of the size you can get at a hardware store in thread size 1/2"-13 or thereabouts. Lug nuts are way too tall for instance.
If you have a magnetic pickup tool it makes a handy way to hold and position them.
I put one at each of the points where there's a rivet holding a linking strap from the bell-shaped pressed outer housing of the pressure plate onto the forged steel plate itself. Rivet head holds nut in position, between underside of pressure plate extensions and flywheel.
Tighten the three remaining pressure plate bolts down and as you do it lifts the pressure plate itself off the flywheel and depresses the center fingers so you can extract the slave and throwout bearing.
(Pry back the bail, remove the front cover, unscrew the nylon oil slinger, stick an M8 bolt thru a big flat washer and a bar, say a flat carpenter's nail prybar, and pop the splined shaft free and pull it back out of the way. Or instead of a bar just use a big deep socket, tighten bolt till shaft pops free. Use some tool to remove the three bolts that hold the slave onto the tranny.)
