   Wheels off, shafts out, box off, clutch off. Clutch on, box on, shafts in, wheels on, oil in. Done.

   Make sure you key up the fly wheel and give it a good clean to get rid of the clutch deposits.
   
   It can be done with in 20 minutes.
   
   Do you guys remove the drive shafts and take the gearbox out to do it?

   You've answered my question.

   Tip to get the roll pin out of the clutch arm: Clamp a pair of mole grips onto the end of it with the rounded side upwards and then use a mallet to tap on the grips to pull the pin out.
   
   I've never done one in the car but I've done a couple with the engine and box on the floor.
   
   Oh and the input shaft WILL be a barsteward to get back in. Might be an idea to get a universal alignment tool. I used a large 1/2" extension bar to lever the clutch around once the cover was back on but it wasn't the most ideal thing.
