Clutch Assembly Adjustment (MPK Resetting Procedure Out of Vehicle)

Important: Use this procedure if transmission and clutch were removed without following correct Removal Procedure.


1. Support the clutch in an arbor press with the bearing facing down.
Allowing an additional 25.4 mm (1 in) space for the bearing to move down, and allow access to install the four shipping bolts.




2. Center the ram and press downward on the retainer until it comes to a stop. Lock the ram in position.
Important: Do not apply excess force on the retainer because the Solo's internal stops can deform the clutch's stamped cover. Eaton recommends using a manually operated arbor press, not a hydraulic press, to avoid distortion of the clutch' stamped cover.





3. Remove the 4 shipping bolts if they have been installed.




4. Raise the ram approximately 2.54 mm (1 in).
5. Press down on the retainer until it comes to a stop.
Lock the ram in this position.
Important: Do not apply excess force on the retainer because the Solo's internal stops can deform the clutch's stamped cover. Eaton recommends using a manually operated arbor press, not a hydraulic press, to avoid distortion of the clutch's stamped cover.


6. Use finger pressure to slide the clutch wear tab to the left until it is at the NEW position and hold it in this position with a magnet.
7. Locate 4 3/8 in x 16 x 1 1/4 in UNC, hex head machine screws. Install them into the 4 cover holes and turn them finger tight.





Important: You may need to temporarily install slightly longer bolts to allow access of the 1 1/4 in shipping bolts.


8. Progressively tighten the four shipping bolts in a crisscross pattern until the face of the pressure plate is (0.525 in) below the mounting surface.
Important: This important step will reset the pressure plate spacers and allow the clutch to release after reinstallation.


9. Install the clutch.
