Pressure plate surface
1. Normal wear and tear; 2. Increased wear; 3. Increased wear on fingers; 4. Breakage or deformation of spring pins
Attention! Remove dust from wear of linings with a special cleaner. Do not use gasoline or solvent.
The procedures described assume that the work is performed without removing the engine and the transmission is removed.
Removal
1. Raise the front of the car.
2. Remove the master cylinder.
3. Hang up the engine and remove the transmission. If the engine is supported from below, keep in mind that the oil receiver is located near the pan and can be easily damaged if the pan is deformed.
4. The fork and release bearing do not need to be removed yet.
5. To secure the clutch, use a drift.
6. Lock the clutch.
7. Find the alignment marks (letters X or O), if they are absent, mark the position of the clutch on the flywheel.
8. Gradually and evenly loosen the 6 bolts, unscrew the bolts and remove the clutch.
Examination
1. As a rule, only the friction disk requires replacement. However, if the disk is found to be oiled, the cause must be found and eliminated.
2. Check the flywheel surface for signs of wear, metal chipping, or deep wear. It is recommended to remove the flywheel and grind it regardless of the surface condition.
3. Check the condition of the guide bearing.
4. Check the condition of the friction disc surface, springs, and loose rivets.
5. The release bearing is also changed along with the friction disc.
6. Check the condition of the surface of the pressure plate, diaphragm spring and spring pins (see Fig. Pressure plate surface). Minor defects of the disc can be sanded with sandpaper; in case of significant defects, replace the clutch.
Installation
1. Clean the flywheel and clutch thoroughly. Install the clutch by aligning the marks and tighten the bolts by hand.
2. Center the disc using a drift that should fit into the pilot bearing and gradually and evenly tighten the clutch bolts in the order shown in the photo.
3. Lubricate the release bearing groove, the friction surfaces of the fork and the splines of the gearbox input shaft with high-melting grease. Install the bearing. Install the transmission.
