Start the Clutch Disc repair and service by disconnecting the negative
Battery Cable then supporting the vehicle in an elevated position. You should begin by removing the Catalytic Converter and driveline support assembly with transaxle then evaluate the engine
Flywheel inspection cover bolts and remove the cover itself. Start by rotating the engine Flywheel and releasing the visible clutch
Pressure Plate bolts through multiple rotations for every bolt. First remove all remaining clutch Pressure Plate bolts before taking out the clutch Pressure Plate and clutch driven plate. Examine the clutch Pressure Plate alongside the clutch driven plate to check for damage and wear. Also check whether the engine Flywheel shows any indications of damage. Before the clutch driven plate and clutch Pressure Plate get installed onto the engine Flywheel, make any necessary adjustments to the clutch Pressure Plate. Putting first touch tension on visible clutch Pressure Plate bolts and turning the engine Flywheel in the specified direction resulted in each bolt's initial finger-tight state. This process was repeated to achieve finger-tight installation on all bolts. The pilot bushing installer/clutch alignment arbor (J 38836) enables alignment of the clutch driven plate against the
Pilot Bearing. Follow this sequence when tightening clutch Pressure Plate bolts at three stages then apply 70 nm (52 foot pounds) during the fourth stage. Reattach the engine Flywheel inspection cover and bolting hardware with a torque setting of 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Put back all components starting from driveline support assembly through transaxle before installing the Catalytic Converter. Conclusion of work includes reconnecting the negative Battery Cable with proper bolt torque at 15 nm (11 ft. Lbs.) and programming transmitters before lowering the vehicle down.
