i got a clutch for my s2 rs escort. sum1 sed to me that the abs might have to be removed or part of abs will have to be removed when fitting the clutch. is that true. is it a bit of a job to fit a clutch on my car then.

replys plz???

 

Fitting the clutch is not so bad, it all depends how you go about it and what tool you have to hand? the method i tend to use is to remove the engine... Now this may sound totally nuts..... I hear you say.... but if your doing the job on your own and have use of an engine hoist it's quite straight forward. remove the turbo, manifold, alternator, bottom pulley, starter motor and un-bolt the the gearbox and lift our the engine, replace the clutch and lower the engine back in... job dun...
or you could remove the gearbox.. getting it out is no problem as you just keep undoing parts until if falls off, however putting it back on can be somewhat tricky and is best dun with the help of a couple of Friends... as for the ABS if you remove the gearbox it can be a right pain the ass... as it does it's best to get in the way, most of the time....
it's up to you the rout you take

Good luck
