w-bodys_are_the_best Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I was reading the FSM and I think the way it sounds you're apparently supposed to pull the release bearing from the pressure plate before removing the clutch, well I didn't and can't get the release bearing off. The FSM says push the release bearing toward engine and wedge a screwdriver inbetween the wedge ring and pressure plate. The guy I got the other clutch from must not have either, bith release bearings are on both pressure plates. I need to get these off and get the parts machined tonight, but they won't come off and I don't want to destroy them, please help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w-bodys_are_the_best Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Anyone? I have to get these apart to have them machined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 turn the pressure plate over, you will see a metal ring holding it in place. use snap ring pliers to push the ring out. the bearing should come out easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w-bodys_are_the_best Posted May 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I just got back from his place, we didn't need to machine anything (he said they are fine), he told me which ones to use, I'm using my old clutch disc with the flywheel and pressure plate from the 92 I bought parts off of. We figured out how it all went to together by tearing the one I'm not going to use apart. The book is confusing because there are 2 methods to get it off of there depending on if you do it before removing the pressure plate and disc from the flywheel or if you already have. So we got it together now how it should be, he gave me a nice alignment tool that fits perfect into the clutch disc and has different threaded end for the crank. He also let me borrow one of his torque wrenches, so I should be able to get something done this weekend. Hopefully I can get enough help and drop this bitch in. The neighbor kid offered to help out already. This pull type setup is a pain, but once you figure out how shit goes together it's not that difficult. I have the pieces ready to go on the pressure plate fingers, now I assume that with the TO bearing on the input shaft and fork, it should snap into the lock ring deal. It looks as if that's how it works, and judging from kuntzie's thread (he had TO bearing on trans side) I came to that assumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuntzie Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Ya it will snap into place once u put the pressure on the fork ( do it by hand before puttin the slave in) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
