Remove the clutch release lever retaining bolt (just above the opening in the clutch housing for the starter).
Thread the long 8 mm thread bolt into the end of the release lever pivot shaft.
Remove the release lever pivot shaft by holding the 8 mm bolt with a pair of pliers and tapping the pliers with a hammer or prying with a screwdriver.
Remove the 4 clutch housing retaining bolts (2 at the top of the housing - 2 at the bottom)
Remove the clutch housing and release lever.
Using the 8 mm cheesehead tool, remove the pressure plate
retaining bolts. Wake up the bolts using BOLT-01, make sure the tool is completely seated in the bolt head, and remains seated in the bolt head at a 90° angle while loosening the bolts.
Remove the pressure plate, release bearing, and clutch plate.
NOTE
If the bolt head strips, drill the bolt head off. Personally, I recommend replacing the retaining bolts with new hardware. Also, if the flywheel is to be resurfaced, you should replace the flywheel bolts as well.
From experience:
Spray PB Blast on the rod (shaft) the clutch release lever rides on. (After many years of togetherness, the steel rod and aluminum bell housing don't like to turn loose of one another.)
The trick is the 8mm bolt. Get one about 2-3 inches long. One end of the clutch release pivot shaft is drilled and tapped. Thread in the new 8mm bolt, get it tight, and use it to grab and pull the shaft out of the housing.
The pressure plate bolt are TIGHT! (another opportunity to use generous amounts of PB Blast) Have your assistant use a pair of vice grips on the outside of the bolt head, while you use the cheeshead, both of you turning at the same time. This will lessen the chance of stripping the cheesehead bolts.
good luck
