New Clutch time? Are they easy to replace?

[clio_dude]

The biting point on my '95 MK1 phase 2 is right at the top, does this mean my clutch is fooked? Are they reasonably easy to fit, what do i have to do, will a Haynes manual explain?

Cheers

haynes manual will explain, you need a decent tool kit, axle stands a trolley jack and a torque wrench. (WD40 too)

it's more time consuming than hard!

Are any special tools required? Spring compression, or an alignment tool?

Also, could i just tighten the clutch so the biting point is lower down?

dont need a clutch alignment tool no, they make it harder if anything in my oppinion, you can line it up by hand through the 3 gaps on the pressure plate, peice of piss.
you need to slacken the clutch cable off if you want the bite lower.

No the tenson on the cable sorts that out. new cluthc might fix it though anyway.
