Textcan some give me a step by step on how to change a pressure plate springs and collars on my 999

here you go, read this thread, its the same for all 748/9** engines inc your 999, just ignore the bits about removing the plates, you donr need to do that to just change a pressure plate, just tap the pushrod out of the old pressure plae and insert into the new one ..... I take it you have bought an open cover to show off the pressure plat ??

Take off clutch cover.
Undo all 6 spring bolts doing this even number of turns each so they loosen at roughly the same rate.
Remove bolts, spring caps & springs.
You may need to use a small drift like an old jewellers screwdriver to punch the clutch pushrod out of the centre of the pressure plate.
Remove pressure plate.
When you come to put the new plate on, align the dot on the edge of the plate with the spring post which has a line through the end & ensure the pushrod is seated properly.
Insert new springs caps & bolts & tighten down evenly.
Enjoy.
It's dead easy... while it's out you may as well clean up the plats if you feel up to it... just don't breathe in the dust!!
