Sound safe to you??

The cars not going anywhere for a good while so im going to see how it goes when i take it for MOT in march or april.
The kit i got came with an exedy pressure plate,koyo bearing and nippon disc i think.
It owes me £200ish so i hope it lasts a couple of months at least!!!

The flywheel will have to come off next time and im really not looking forward to that!:2Mad

You need a 54MM flywheel socket - I have one you can borrow if you need it.

Also note that you can use an FD flywheel if you get a lightened one you need an FD auto counterweight

Cheers!
My mates a farmer and has a massive socket set that looks like its meant for a giant!
Its that pilot bearing you need a puller to get it out, I think thats where im going to have trouble.

When i did the clutch i stuck my finger in the hole;) and it felt nice and smooth but i gave it a little grease anyway.

When it goes next time do you recommend an fd flywheel then? or just get mine machined?

Thanks again for such a warm welcome:Party

Im going for an FD lightened flywheel as prof found out the hard way that the stock flywheel might have a lip in it, so when you put a new clutch plate on there, it doesn\'t fully contact.

Here is my socket:



It depends on what your flywheel is like, it might be easier to get a 2nd hand one that is in good condition, then it would be quicker to swap out as you don\'t have to take it out and then get it machined.

Make sure that you use the clutch tool to align it all, else it will alll have to come back out again :rollin

I made a clutch tool out of a wooden broom handle cut down and forced it though the old disc to get the splines. bit crude but it worked!

Done a bit of reading about joining up again so il wait till jan and get a full year. Think i only got 4 months worth of newsletters last time round! (didnt have internet) lol

Double post better go to bed!

you dont need a puller for the spigot bearing just pack the centre hole with grease and find a punch that is a snug fit and give it a wack with a hammer and the pressure of the grease behind the bearing will force it out
