Post subject:  Did i replace the clutch correctly???? Lots of pics!
Hi all,

well i replaced the clutch today and i am not quite sure if wat i did was correct so would love to hear off someone who has done if before if i have done it correctly!!

I lined the A on the pressure plate to the 1/4 on the flywheel
Step 1 - Putting .........this thing...............on.
Image

Step 2 - Putting clutch plate in
Image

Step 3 - Clutch plate in place
Image

Step 4 - Flywheel
Image

Step 5 - flywheel view from top
Image

Step 6 - locking nut thing and bolt
Image

Step 7 - nut and bolt in place (i did tighten them up)
Image

Step 8 - Pressure plate (all screws when completely through the sheet metal locking tabs as i heard if they dont it can cause sudder)
Image

Step 9 - putting belhousing on
Image

Step 10 - hoping it all went together correctly!!
Image

I have also given the bellhousing a sand back and respray so it actualy does look nicer now, this was just so i could see whether or not i have done the clutch correctly!

if i did something wrong please tell me......if i didnt please tell me as well!!!
Thank you all!!!!

Did you assemble and check the diaphragm spring was flat when all tightened down?

Did you 'lap' the flywheel to the crank and bed it in - tighten - rap with a rubber mallet - loosen the bolt and repeat 3 times

No i didnt do either of those :lol: i guess my idea of taking pictures and putting it up here is working, i made sure everything i did could be undone just incase i was wrong!

I was speaking to aaron befgore and he mention what torque i did that main nut up to and i didnt no what was the appropriate number, is there any number or is it just making sure its pretty bloody tight?? at the moment its only spanner tight (i wasnt swing off the spanner either :p)

Great set of Pics (did I say that right?). On a standard set up (which is what it looks like you have) the backing plate, flywheel and diaphram spring are indexed for balance. If you look very carefully at all the posts on the backing plate, one of them will be stamped 'A', this normally goes through the flywheel hole nearest your timing marks and again look carefully at the diaphram bolt holes and one of them will have 'A' again (or usually part of the letter). If you've not checked I would loose any sleep over it, but is is alway nice to put it back the way that it was intended.

dont know about that... the only thing i would sudgest is make sure you put a locking tab washer on your flywheel and make sure you torque it up properly.. also the presure plate needs thoese lock washes

wouldn't worry to much about that either, like GT said

you also dont need that bent clutch arm anymore.

152Nm/112lbf ft for the flywheel bolt

I would lose the flywheel bolt locktab if fitted, they are made from too soft steel these days and can compress, causing the flywheel to come loose.
Use Loctite 262 on the bolt threads instead.
Works for me (and a certain well known Sydney Mini race engine builder).
