Learning how to rebuild your clutch will prevent any damage to the drivetrain, while ensuring that you get the best handling from your car.

      Depress the clutch shoe with your thumb, then push down on the spring with the flat-head screwdriver. Pull the trailing edge of the shoe away from the clutch nut slightly to snap it into place.
