Re: Clutch replacement parts
A did a B5 AJM, there's a really annoying coolant pipe that's a nuisance at the top of the bell housing.
A stud and nut can be a life saver as this acts like an extended dowl and helps to line up the engine and box (commonly found on Peugeot gearboxes)

Re: Removing Alternator clutch pulley
My method is to remove the alternator
I make this easy by snapping a cooling fin on the back of the viscous fan, look for biggest spaced and snap that by placing a prybar in and twisting.
This allows easy removal of the bolts and alternator. 20 min job!
