A quick question, is it as easy to change the clutch as it looks?

Anything that I should watch out for?

Cheers Mike

If you're just changing the plates, then yes it's pretty easy. Watch out for the 6 cap heads on the spring caps. They can seize. If there is any doubt about stripping the heads out, give 'em a light tap with an impact driver.
If the push rod sticks in the cap in the bearing, there's a small hole which you can drift it out through.
The push rod can come all the way out, but the o-rings can snag the small bearing and get ripped.
If you're doing the basket to, then you'll need a holding tool and some "grunting" pills :P
Still pretty straight forward though

Grunting pills? That's where I've been going wrong, Nelly do you have the part No.?

The shorter part No. is X07708
I may have it the wrong way round though and upside down
