Pressure Plate came off by loosening each nut one by one. Before that i marked a line on it on the flywheel to line it up later 'if' it goes back onto the engine.
hmmm doesnt look too bad.... we will see/...
The flywheel still held together by the 36mm gland nut which you see in the middle of the pic above.
.
I will need to get a cheater pipe which is about 4 feet long to use with my wrench and a angled bar thingy to brace the flywheel from moving. Months and months go by with me not doing anything about it until about a few days before Christmas when i finally bought it. Now i need to call upon all my might to get my ass of this sofa and start on it!!!
.
ANyway while all that was going on (which was nothing much) i had moved my car from KLANG to a welder in Subang Industrial Park for some metal work. The main things done were welding in the seat railings, fixing that hole which is the radio void and delete plate and coat the chasis with underseal.
.
After that i brought it back to my hse where it sat under the porch for a few months....
.
I will blog about all that later........ I promise... :P

Hit the gland nut with an impact gun, no need to mess with cheater bars and all that to counter the torque... this is assuming you have access to one of course.
Yeah i have no access to an impact gun. I will try the manual way and if that doesnt do, i will pack the engine into my satria again and go to my uncles place. He has an impact gun.
Good job! You might be surprised how "strong" you are with a cheater bar. It will come off ok.
Inspect the nut for damage when it comes off. If in doubt replace.
I'd replace it anyways, there's a pilot bearing in the nut that can go bad if it's dried out (no grease), and make clutching ineffective (the input shaft on the transmission still spins even with the clutch disengaged).
