Its not that easy, as Yes, ABS does make it a whole lot harder.

I wouldn't take it on, if I had to do it on my back.

I changed mine on the XR2 this sat. All I had was a mate who knew what he was doing and it was no problem. And he had only done it twice before.

We did take 7 hours to do it, but we were taking it easy and not really in much of a rush.

With a book such as a Haynes manual with you I'd say it would be worth a go if you want to save money.

If you have a half decent tool set and a mate to help then you will never learn if you dont try.

The hardest thing to do would possibly be re aligning the new clutch plate so the splines go in okay first time.

As above allow at least a full day (or weekend) tho
