Pressure Plate and Clutch Disc Removal



Check the height of the diaphragm spring fingers using the special tools and a feeler gauge. If the height is more than the service limit, replace the pressure plate.





Inspect for warpage using a straight edge (A) and a feeler gauge (B). Measure across the pressure plate (C). If the warpage is more than the service limit, replace the pressure plate.





Measure the clutch disc thickness. If the thickness is less than the service limit, replace the clutch disc.





Measure the rivet depth from the clutch disc lining surface (A) to the rivets (B) on both sides. If the rivet depth is less than the service limit, replace the clutch disc.





Flywheel
Measure the flywheel (A) runout using a dial indicator (B) through at least two full turns with the engine installed. Push against the flywheel each time you turn it to take up the, crankshaft thrust washer clearance. If the runout is more than the service limit, replace the flywheel, and recheck the runout. Resurfacing the flywheel is not recommended.





Install the special tool, then torque the flywheel mounting bolts in a crisscross pattern in several steps.





Clutch Disc and Pressure Plate
Install the pressure plate (A) and the mounting bolts (B), finger-tight.

Torque the mounting bolts in a crisscross pattern. Tighten the bolts in several steps to prevent warping the diaphragm spring.
