Applies only to clutches without self adjustment: 

Note the position of the handle with slots. Then screw in by not more than two turns  .

Applies only to certain engine versions with self adjusting clutches: 

Compress the clutch so that the automatic adjuster is not under load.

If the clutch is worn, turn counterhold automatic adjustment to the original position marking.

The marking consists of two stamped arrows.

Then continue to screw in the compression tool until the diaphragm spring has pressed the pressure plate to a free position.

A click can be heard when the clutch pressure plate snaps out.

Remove the clutch and the clutch driven plate  .
