How hard would it be to change a clutch pad myself?

Ive changed brake pad's and roaters before, how much more difficult would the clutch pad be?

Replacing a clutch is a big job but one definitely worth doing if you want to learn. I'd recommend doing it but like Rick said, if you've never done it then it would be good to have someone there with you who has had experience. It's not necessarily a hard job; it just takes a while. Give it a shot though. What's the worst that could happen?

I could be said the clutch job is no more diffciult than the brake job--when you get to it. That's the trouble. First you must seperate the transmission from the engine, first disengaging the balljoints and other parts. Then the transmission must be lowered. Afterwards, the tramsission must be raised and aligned and brought together and everything put back together. It's a whole lot more work than a brake job--and you won't be sitting outside on a milk crate the whole time either!
Considerable. To replace the clutch in most cars, you have to drop the transmission %26amp; get it out of the way. If you have a friend who has done this before, it would be worth a six-pack to get him to help, so you could learn. There are also specialized tools needs, like a input shaft stub tool. Maybe help your friend do his clutch, as a learning experience. It can be done on a garage floor, but you gotta know what you're doing....
if your talking about the clutch disc then your getting into a lot of work. it,s nothing like changing the brake pads and rotors. changing the clutch you have your work cut out for you and also you better know what your doing. for example you have to make sure the clutch disc is,nt in backwards.
If it's front wheel drive leave it to the experts. Brakes are child's play compared to a clutch.
By %26quot;clutch pad%26quot;, do you mean peddle? If so it isn't as hard as everyone is saying.
a bunch more need to come apart

can be done but might want a repair book front wheel drives not easy like a older rear wheel drive car might have been
On most cars you have to seperate the tranny from the block to get at it.. Its sort of a big job..
