easy job!
Crikey that's impressive.

Having toiled with my pre verto clutch on a few occasions, I dread the two clutch cover bolts which my sausage fingers cannot reach.

Poking at it with a spanner, hoping the thread will start, then turning one flat at a time, misery.

No doubt there are a few top tips to make the job easier, maybe shortening the bolt, but surely that's cheating.
If you cut the bottom out of the two bolt holes to make them into slots, it makes it a little easier to get the cover on and off as the bolts do not need to be entirely removed. Obviously there may be structural concerns associated with this so perhaps this is not the best advice!
