Clutch change whilst homeless and minimal tools



I was forced to be homeless and living in my Hilux out of a park with my partner and dog due to no rental history between the pair of us and neither of us were working at the time so it made it impossible to get a house. After living out of our canopy on our ute for 7 months, the throw out bearing had completely died and we didn't have anywhere enough funds to afford getting it fixed through a mechanics or anywhere possible to get funds for it to be fixed(most places quoted $2700 onwards and 2 days of labour which lead to no car that we lived in which was never going to be a possiblity due to us living in the canopy part of our car)
I've never worked as a mechanic or working on cars and I've definitely never done a throwout bearing change or even a clutch change before but the clutch was 5 years old and many, many KMS of driving had been driven on said clutch both before being homeless and whilst homeless. Being homeless we had minimal amount of tools to help get the job done(a small socket set with a ratchet handle and only a few extensions bars, some mixed sized spanners and a couple of screwdrivers, one small pry bar plus a small bottle jack that didn't come anywhere near close to reaching the gearbox height under my Hilux) so I resorted to multiple youTube videos and within 3 days of work on and off getting the job done I finally got it sorted and got a whole new clutch kit fitted. This was a massive job and something I'd never even done on a vehicle before and it was even harder having minimal tools and not even a floor jack to hold the gearbox/transfer case but after 3 days of hard work all on my own, the job finally got done and now my Hilux is still going strong 4 months later. We are still homeless and looking for housing but we are currently in emergency housing through department of housing but the car still gets driven on a daily basis and it hasn't skipped a beat with the new clutch kit fitted
