Removing the clutch on a Peugeot 1.2VTi engine (EB2)

Always mark the parts with a permanent marker pen (left picture) before dismantling them.
This lets you avoid some precious time to remember how things were mounted when refitting.
Unscrew and remove the Torx bolts that hold the clutch plate and take it out.
Pull out the clutch disc with your hand.

Removing the flywheel on the Peugeot 1.2VTi (EB2) engine

Block the flywheel with a heavy duty slotted screwdriver and locking pliers as shown in the left picture and unscrew the flywheel bolts (middle) before taking it out of the EB2 engine crankshaft hub (right).
Be aware that these bolts are blocked with a thread compound which means you have to use the ratchet handle until the last tooth of the bolt thread is freed.
