clio 1.2 clutch change and bad vibes

[englishbob]

Hello

i am a newbie so sorry if this is another "same old, same old" but my clio2 1.2 has got an embarrasing noise in the clutch mech, the local garage here in france has quoted me nearly 600euros to change, but told me that i could do this at home after i said that times is hard.

can someone give me, or direct me to "an idiots giude" to dropping the front end and dismantling, fitting etc.....do i need any special tools?

also she vibrates at about 60-75 mph like my old triumph 500 through the front wheels, i have had these balanced but still likes to shake....so probably should sort this out at the same time?

what do you think

cheers

bob

No specialist tools required....

axle stands

jack

a decent socket and spanner set... general tools

Quite achievable with the above!

got the tools then,..........

looking at the historical postings, can't seem to make out best way (easiest!)

mine is lhd so can i drop the subframe on the drivers side? if so how do i do this?

thanks

600 euros ? i would come over for a day trip and do it for that .
as long as you take your time and check everything you should be able to do it. get a haynes manual?

good eye for lining the clutch.
