AndrewElvisFan Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 yes the push lever should move then stop at the marker, if it does the plates are ok...and the adjustment too. bloody hell it sounds like a stiff/sticking cable now disconnect it at both ends, it should be easy to move the inner I will try disconnecting both ends just in case - just as soon as this precipitation ceases!

dt502001 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Don't stress about this job it's a easy one,just remove each plate 1 at a time and make note of which way they fit the steel ones that is they have a sharp edge on one side and a curved on the other sharp goes in. some yam steel plate have a section that has a tit,not completly round and need to be set 180 apart then 90 ect,if the first steel plate is fully round then dont worry about that just make sure you get the sharp edge in. If the steel plates have blued from slipping just scratch them with some sand paper and full clean them, soak the new fiber plates in oil over night before installing. Also before removing the pressure plate make note of it's position,a black pen marker on the outer and inner makes it easy to reinstall in the same positoin,or scratch a mark with a sharp knife. Do NOT over tighten the spring bolts just snug them down,I wouldn't even suggest using a torque wrench for this as most are not good enough and we have had a rash of broken bolts.Just down to tight is perfect the spring will keep it tight. Some blue thread locker is good to use on all the bolts. When your going to do this post it and then if you need help I can get on and lend some advice if needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the push lever not moving makes sense to adjust inside the casing to compensate for wearing clutch. Think I'll get a new plate set in case I open it up and find it shagged! Not like it will go to waste!!! I will try disconnecting both ends just in case - just as soon as this precipitation ceases! Confused dot com, if it's 'Def not the cable' there wont be any 'just in case' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wild foamy Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 as above, it turned out the cable had frayed on the inside of mine, hence i didnt need the springs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewElvisFan Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 So I got both ends disconnected and guess what? The push lever moved and although there is movement in the cable, it is not sliding in and out as smoothly as it should. Just got in from work so I'll soak it in oil this evening and report back! Think I've saved some time, effort and money here! Cheers Airhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
