some tips for you Posted by Saabu [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: stubborn clutch removal, Jan Markham, Sun, 4 Mar 2007 09:12:41 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
in addition to the other fellows tips, try these
using chalk or a marker, pre-mark which PP hole lines up with each flywheel mounting post.
With car in neutral, turn the engine/flywheel (counter clockwise using a crowbar levered on the large bolt head to right of flywheel) so that one of the posts is at about 4 oclock. with the clutch components together, get one PP hole on that post, then rotate them down and to the left, into place.
if the clutch disc gets away from you, use a longish screwdriver to push it back up as you push the input shaft in. some jigging of the disc and you'll eventually get the shaft thru it and into the flywheel bearing.
BIG TIP: once the clutch is together, hydraulic system bled, etc, have a helper slowly push the pedal ONLY as far as is needed to get the pail handle out of the PP - if you go too far you could blow the slave seals and be in a real mess!
ANOTHER TIP: be aware that reverse bleeding the clutch is quite easy and effective. a bottle with fluid in it, suspended above and connected with a hose to the bleed nipple, will push air out of the line. You might have to bleed the system both ways to get it done right.
