Q: How to service and repair the pressure plate and clutch drive plate on Chevrolet Cobalt?
A: The Pressure Plate along with the clutch drive plate requires servicing which requires removing the transmission first. Start by turning the clutch cover bolts separately until spring tension eases up before you can detach the clutch cover along with its disc. Make the heavy section of the Flywheel assembly match the light side of the clutch bearing housing. Support the clutch cover to the Flywheel assembly by using the clutch alignment arbor (J 43482). Install the clutch cover to Flywheel bolts in the specified tightening sequence while torquing those bolts to 24 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Directly after use dispose of the clutch alignment arbor (J 43482). Handling the input shaft splines requires attention because over-applied lubricant could lead to Clutch Disc pollution which results in shudder problems. The inside diameter of the bearing must get saturn p/n 21005995 lubrication or equivalent before installing the transmission. The hydraulic system needs bleeding followed by negative Battery Cable connection.
Q: How to service and repair the pressure plate on Chevrolet HHR?
A: Service and repair operations for the Pressure Plate need to begin with transmission removal. The service begins with slowly loosening clutch cover bolts until spring pressure decreases before removing the clutch cover with its attached Clutch Disc. The heavy section of the Flywheel assembly should match up with the lightweight section of the clutch cover for proper installation. Clutch alignment arbor (J 43482) will support the clutch cover when it is mounted to the Flywheel assembly. The installation of clutch cover to Flywheel bolt requires a precise sequence for tightening which needs to reach 24 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Use the clutch alignment arbor (J 43482) once completion. The inside diameter of the bearing should get lubrication from saturn p/n 21005995 or an equivalent while avoiding excess lubricant on input shaft splines which might contaminate the Clutch Disc and lead to clutch shudder. After the transmission reinstallation process users should finalize by bleeding the hydraulic system and connecting the negative Battery Cable.
Q: How to service and repair the pressure plate on Chevrolet Cavalier?
A: Service and repair of the Pressure Plate starts with transmission removal. You should loosen the clutch cover bolts slowly until the spring pressure decreases when you need to remove the clutch cover alongside its disc. When installing the Flywheel assembly position its marked x side towards the painted light side on the clutch cover. The clutch alignment arbor (J 29074) should be used for clamping the clutch cover to the Flywheel assembly. Install the clutch cover to Flywheel bolts starting from the sequence and use torque wrenches to tighten each bolt to 20 nm (16 ft. Lbs.) before rotating them 45 degrees before completing the tightening process. The clutch alignment arbor (J 29074) needs to be removed following the procedure then the inside diameter of the bearing requires gm p/n 12345777 or equivalent lubrication before reinstallation of the transmission which completes with hydraulic system bleeding and negative Battery Cable connection.
