    What i will add to this for clarity is,

    remove clutch slave cylinder. before trying to disengage the clutch release bearing.
    Either keep a closed fluid system and remove the slave cylinder leaving it attached to the car and tuck it out of the way, or remove one of the hard lines for the clutch slave cylinder and take the clutch slave off completely, choice is yous

    Gain entry to the clutch release bearing from under the car not through the clutch fork hole. there is circular rubber grommet on the bottom of the bell housing. remove it and with a torch you can see what you need to do.
    Get your flat blade screwdriver between the clutch release bearing and the metal disk that is pressed up against it with a wave spring.
    Grab the clutch fork and pull it away from the engine and hold it there.
    Twist the screw driver and the release bearing should be released. once you have twisted the screw driver release the clutch fork and it should spring away for the pressure/sping plate of the clutch.
    You know if you have been successful as the clutch fork will be fully over to the engine side of the hole in the bell housing.

    DO NOT push the clutch fork away from the engine to see what happens as this will engage the clutch release bearing back into the pressure/sping plate of the clutch and you will have to do it all over again.

    Bye for Now!
