Much too complicated to itemize in these forums and almost impossible without the proper tools and a lift.



See www.alldatadiy.com for full instructions though.I need step by step instructions on how to change a clutch on a 1986 Mazda 626 sadan?
OMG!



If you need instructions - it isn't for you. FWD clutch jobs are a nightmare. Last year I swapped the clutch in an Integra. I had to disconnect just about every bolt there exist on the engine.



On top of that you have to hoist the engine and disconnect the steering knuckle and the CV joint. It wasn't worth the money saved.

If you still want to do it, it is best to get a repair manual (I used Chilton but Hayes and others are about the same).

I have to agree with the others, although I like to see people try to do their own work. In the case of an '86 Mazda 626, which I owned in the past and loved, I think it's not worth it.



If you are attached to the car, invest in a good manual for 20 bucks on Ebay.

Unfortunately, you may spend more money doing it yourself that you would getting it done by a professional. It is not an easy job and requires knowledge and experience. Check around and get some expert prices before you try it.I need step by step instructions on how to change a clutch on a 1986 Mazda 626 sadan?
You should purchase a Haynes or Chilton repair manual for your specific make and model. The steps involved are a little too numerous for this type of forum. A manual can be had for under $20 - with the added benefit that it'll have photos of the steps involved. You can usually pick one up at a local auto parts store.
