I would imagine the weight to be similar to that of my old MK3 2.0ltr astra...... I did not change that clutch but I did watch as the gearbox was also replaced, so I am aware of the weight, but can it be done in my garage (good size no less) with trolley jacks and axle stands? Also my toolkit took a hammering during a flood in my last garage, so I would only have a decent socket set, some spanners, and the persuaders....(crow bar and hammer)?
