not an easy job at all. DO NOT lever down the subframe. the easiest option is to lift the engine out as you can do the cambelt at the same time. the book time for a clutch on a 172 is 7.3 hours. This is in optimum workshop conditions so allow yourself about 10 hours if youve never done one before.

kk...how do normal garges do it then? do they lift it out?

 

[Fred@BTM]

i just drop the subframe and pull the box out the bottom

easier to pull the engine IMO

subframe way is a tw^t better off lifting the engine out ,do some more jobs whist its out if the need doing , the clutch can be changed with a 16mm for the gearbox an 11mm(odd size?) for the cover plate , be careful with the release bearing , made from shitty plastic , you get an alignment tool with the new clutch so jobs a good'un
