They cleaned up lovely but doing this job made me realise i had miscounted the correct number of steel plates to go back in when I put on the new ones. I did set torque wrench to 13 instead of 8 and sheared a bolt!! But as advised by you guys I bought a few new ones when ordering off fowlers so all was well. I will be taking a lot more pics of things for the rebuild as I strip them in future also. Thanks for all the great pointers along the way!!

Damn, how did you get the bolt out, was it easy enough?
Anyone changing clutch plates, I would definitely advise ordering some new pressure plate/spring bolts, and I also ordered myself a much smaller torque wrench to play with as well.
