Cut some.
Look on Youtube. There are usually some videos showing stuff like
clutch
replacement.
Youtube is pretty Spartan when it comes to things that most people don't
do. You'll NEVER find a DIY for your own vehicle, for example. Even if it's
as common as a Toyota 4Runner.
Search term: "diy clutch replacement w59 transmission" at Youtube:
I wouldn't include diy. All the videos are for diy. Even if they are
intended for auto mechanics, how different would they be from what's
intened for you?
I wouldn't include W59. Or at least if I didn't find what I wanted I'd
take it out and put in 4runner. I don't know if a 4runner has more
possible manual transmissions, but a good part of the instructions will
be the same even if it does. I don't known if other Toyota cars use the
same transmission, but they might, so I'd also try it with Toyota
instead of 4runner. I might well specify the year -- youtube is good
about also returning hits with nearby years, and iirc will also return a
video with the title 2008 - 2012 even if you only specify 2010.
I don't think I'd even put in replacement. If it's a video about
clutches, it's going to be either replacement or inspection or ...?
If you get too many hits, then you can put in more terms (but that
doesn't seem to be your problem).
Just last night I was searching youtube and I learned a lot from videos
that didn't really meet my search terms. For one thing, one that
doesn't fit will be followed by something related, maybe something that
fits better. In theory you would have found it in the search list, but
my experience is that it often works better by letting the sequence find
it for you, (until of course the sequence goes way off topic). That
doesn't mean it won't get totally misled by terms like diy.

The closest is the pickup truck DIY.

There are ZERO 3rd-generation Toyota 4Runner clutch replacement DIYs on
Youtube.
