Default Replace your clutch in 30 minutes!

Well here it is.
This was my 1st time,but it was so easy it makes me sick to spend 300 to have 1 put in.
1st
Drain your oil....then replace drain plug...Soak new plates in new oil for 30 minutes prior to install.
2nd
Remove the cover bolts size 8 mm. Put the bolts down in order you take them off,because there are a couple different sizes.
3rd
Remove the 4 pressure plate bolts that retain the 4 springs.
Check your springs for size and damage.
I dont remember the size but I think its a 10 mm socket on the 4 spring bolts.
4th
Remove the 7 friction plats ,and place them in order you take them off.
Take note to the alignment of your current plates..some have numbers or letters mine had grooves,just line them up,and replace in the same order.
1 plate is slightly wider then the rest,be sure this is the 1st plate.
5th
Replace the plates in order.
6th
Install your pressure plate.
7th
Install your NEW springs and the 4 bolts to retain those springs.Tighten the springs tight ,but not to tight,The tighter you make them,the sooner the clutch will grab.
8th
Align your cover,and install the bolts in the order they came out.
9th
Add oil
The plate pics you see are to show you the difference in 1 plate ,just a little widwer then the rest.
You should be able to zoom in with any picture editor to see a more defined picture.
I rate this a 3 out of 5 wrenches difficulty. All that should only take under 1 hour if you struggle.
Any questions PM me!
