Sweet thats a great help does the clutch pedal have 2 b touched then cause they have a ratchet system on the pedal. Is there any way of stopping the ratchet system from shitting itself when u disconnect the cable.

Just disconnect the cable from the gearbox adjuster will be fine.
Sometimes you need some one to pull up on the clutch pedal when you pull the cable through to reconect it

Personally I always remove the shafts Gives you more room and no risk of damageing the oil seals, It dont take 10 mineuts to remve them
