What stage of removing are you at. If you have got as far as the preasure and clutch plate's remove the screw's around the preasure plate. There are a few dowels around the preasure plate to align it properly. The preasure plate will be tight on these dowels and you will need two small levers or two large flat screwdrivers one either side pry evenly taking the preasure plate. It is very tight fitting so will need to be forced. Don't mind damaging it as you are replacing.

If you have removed the gearbox, then jam the flywheel, and undo the bolts around the outside of the pressure plate housing.
Undo each 2 turns at a time to prevent distortion. Using an impact driver helps.
There will also be location pegs.
Use a thread lock on the bolts or new bolts.
I have replaced clutches with bolts rattling around in there !
