Default 4 jobs in 1

Afternoon all
So the dreaded clutch job has reared its ugly head again.
But I also have a few other things to do.
1-new stainless front pipe needs fitting
2-2 hubs need replacing to find the brake wobble
3-i have a new driveshaft to fit
4-the clutch

So I'm thinking drop and remove the complete exhaust.
Remove the subframe....can this be done with the hubs and shocks and driveshafts still attached?

Swap the hubs over and driveshaft
Then tackle the clutch.

It all sounds easy but can it be done like this?
Last time I dropped the subframe I left the shocks on the car

Any pointers gratefully received
Stan

At my pace it will probably be nearly summer before I'm done

Yep, exhaust off at the front and mid hangers thes pull it to one side and attach it to your axle stand.

Subframe off and leave the struts and hubs attached until you have tackled the clutch job.

That's lightening speed compared with my 7 years of not getting around to replacing the crank sensor and installing an orange clip after tightening up the fuel filter on my pride and joy 1.8k!

wont the two braces behind the sub frame have to be removed? Do you then lower the exhaust to the ground or there abouts when you move it to one side? I ask as I completely removed the whole exhaust and it was a bit of a pain.

Only if your car is fitted with them! I have them removed on mine so totally forgot to mention them.
