How do you use a hydrolic clutch removal tool for an 89 Ford Ranger?

I am trying to change out the clutch in this vehicle and I can't figure out how to use this tool.

Sorry never heard of a clutch removal tool.



Are you talking about changing the transmission clutch?



Remove the slave cylinder.

Remove the transmission.

Unbolt the pressure plate. Take off the pressure plate and clutch disk.

Remove the throwout bearing on the transmission shaft.

Place new throwout bearing on tranny shaft, making sure it's line up properly and engaged with the clutch fork.

Start the screws on the new pressure plate into the flywheel with the new clutch disk sandwiched between them.

Use a line up tool to line up the hole through the pressure plate, clutch disk and into the flywheel.

Try to put the tranny back in without knocking everything you just lined up out of place. If you do move the tranny back out of the way again, cuss it some more, then reallign everything again.

Get the tranny in place and bolt it up.

Reinstall the slave cylinder.
