It's not a lot of fun....http://www.frenchcarforum.co.uk/forum/v ... =3&t=54045

Likely on a C3 you will need the subframe out. Flywheel, clutch, release bearing at the least, and quite probably the input guide tube and release arm to go with it. Parts likely over £500....

Hmmmm, it's a solid flywheel on this one (Yay!) if the subframe has to come down i'd be tempted to let a trusted clutch place do it as i'm pushed for time at the moment!

Is the tube and fork a common item for wear then?
