No loctite is required on flywheel bolts

It really helps to have a mate to turn crankshaft at front of motor while you get to step torque flywheel bolts. We would make a paint dot for each round of torque to make sure all were done.

Yes, I first thought they may had had loctite on them because of the way some of them "popped" when I broke them loose, but have since learned that loctite is not used on the flywheel bolts.

HI,

 

Does anybody have the torque specs for all the bolts for the the clutch job?

 

Thanks

The clutch job is described on pages 30-1 through 30-3 of the manual.  I can't remember where to get a copy, since I've had mine for so long.  The tightening torque specs are given on page 30-3, as follows:

 

Clamping sleeve bolt:  80 Nm (59 lb-ft)

Pressure plate:  23 Nm (17 lb-ft).  You have to around many times to get all the bolts to seat against the pressure of the spring

Guide tube: 10 Mn (7 lb-ft)

 

In case you have to remove the flywheel, its bolts are tightened in two stages.  The first stage calls for 40 Nm (29 lb-ft), and the second calls for 90 Nm (66 lb-ft).  Good luck - it isn't a terrible job, just a little tedious.

Thank you Cloud!!!

 

Yes I pulled it apart yesterday, I couldn't believe how easy it was!!! I'm hoping I don't eat my words to put it back together.

 

Thank you again for torque specs

Do you notice a difference with the new clutch?


My clutch has about 40,000 miles on it so it should be good for a while.

Big difference. You really have to push that pedal down now, however it is still a soft push just like before.  Had to adjust seat. It is so smooth now much easier to run. I had about 2% left on the old,  perfect timing.....Very nice and appropriate maintenance!!
