Default Clutch....please help!!

My friends MK3 Fiesta 1.1 clutch has gone. In my years I have done a few things with cars but never changed a clutch. Is it a hard job? I was thinking because its a small engine it should be easy?

Ive had the gearbox off of my 2.0 fiesta more times than i can remeber. Either beacuse of blowing the box to pieces or because it destroyed a clutch.

Its really simple to do and i can get a box out on my own in well under an hour if i have an impact gun. ITs a two person job getting it back on though as the boxes are quite heavy.

One tip i would give is to take the frame which holds the passengers side lower arm in place off. This will give you a lot more space to play with when refitting the box.
