1.2 clutch

[car.crash]

My clio 1.2 2002 needs a new clutch due to the rocker cover leaking and throwing oil all over it.

ive ordered the clutch and have done them on a 182 and gt turbo but will the box need to be completely removed or can I just part and get my hand in there?

any shortcut tips please?

I lowered the subframe a tad and pulled the box to the side, chopped a bit off the clutch alignment tool and managed it that way

I've read of a few people doing it without removing the driveshafts.
Anyone confirm its possible?

I done it without removing the passengers side shaft as I had just not long done the box oil., I just removed the 2 ball joint to bottom arm bolts and the 2 strut to hub nuts and bulled the hub and shaft towards me with the box!
