Janicholson is right, every M clutch had six bolts to remove. If my memory serves me correctly, only three are used to compress the pressure plate. If you screw them in to far, you will find out that the end of the bolts are stripped out, because the holes are not threaded past a certain point. Just tighten them until they are snug, and don't try to overcompress the springs. As long as they are compressed enough that the pressure plate can be put back into place and the other three bolts can reach the flywheel, you are good. Now, to remove the pressure plate, you must slide the pressure plate, friction disc, and the clutch shaft out all at once. I remember on our W6, the pressure plate and friction disc didn't just fall out either. We had to jiggle it around a bit to get the assembly to move out. On ours, this was caused by the build-up of clutch material coating the inside surface of the flywheel past the range where the pressure plate was previously allowed to move. It is also possible that the shaft doesn't want to come out of the pilot bearing, in which case, you want to try pulling it straight out. Don't try wiggling it too forcefully, unless you are planning to replace the bearing anyway.
