WARNING: CLUTCHES AND BRAKES CONTAIN ASBESTOS FIBERS. AVOID BREATHING DUST. BREATHING ASBESTOS DUST MAY CAUSE ASBESTOSIS AND CANCER.
WARNING: BREATHING ASBESTOS DUST IS HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
WARNING: DUST AND DIRT PRESENT ON WHEEL BRAKE AND CLUTCH ASSEMBLIES MAY CONTAIN ASBESTOS FIBERS THAT ARE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH WHEN MADE AIRBORNE BY CLEANING WITH COMPRESSED AIR OR BY DRY BRUSHING.
WARNING: WHEEL BRAKE ASSEMBLIES AND CLUTCH FACINGS SHOULD BE CLEANED USING A VACUUM CLEANER RECOMMENDED FOR USE WITH ASBESTOS FIBERS SUCH AS BRAKE/CLUTCH/SERVICE VACUUM 164-R3600. DUST AND DIRT FROM VACUUM SHOULD BE DISPOSED OF IN A MANNER THAT PREVENTS DUST EXPOSURE SUCH AS SEALED BAGS. THE BAG MUST BE LABELED AS PER OSHA INSTRUCTIONS AND THE TRASH HAULER NOTIFIED AS TO THE BAG'S CONTENTS.
WARNING: IF A VACUUM SUITABLE FOR ASBESTOSIS NOT AVAILABLE, CLEANING SHOULD BE DONE WET. IF DUST GENERATION IS STILL POSSIBLE, TECHNICIANS SHOULD WEAR GOVERNMENT APPROVED TOXIC DUST PURIFYING RESPIRATORS.
WARNING: GRINDING OR SANDING ON BRAKE LININGS, PADS, ROTORS, DRUMS OR CLUTCH FACINGS SHOULD BE DONE ONLY WHILE USING PROPERLY EXHAUST-VENTILATED EQUIPMENT.
WARNING: OSHA REQUIRES AREAS WHERE ASBESTOS DUST GENERATION IS POSSIBLE TO BE ISOLATED AND POSTED WITH WARNING SIGNS. ONLY TECHNICIANS CONCERNED WITH PERFORMING BRAKE OR CLUTCH SERVICE SHOULD BE PRESENT IN THE AREA.
Remove the transaxle.
Install (A) flywheel holding tool and (B) Clutch Aligner.
CAUTION: Loosen bolts evenly to prevent pressure plate damage.
NOTE: If the parts are to be reused, mark the clutch pressure plate and flywheel.
Remove the bolts and remove the clutch pressure plate and clutch disc.
CAUTION: Do not use cleaners with a petroleum base and do not immerse the clutch pressure plate in solvent.
Use a suitable commercial alcohol base solvent and clean the clutch pressure plate.
Inspect the clutch pressure plate surface for burn marks, scores, flatness or ridges.
Inspect the clutch pressure plate diaphragm fingers for wear. Replace the clutch pressure plate if necessary.
Use a slide caliper and measure the depth to the rivet heads. Replace the clutch disc if any rivet head measurement is not within specifications.
CAUTION: If the clutch disc is saturated with oil, inspect the rear engine crankshaft seal for leakage. If leakage is found, replacement of the seal is required prior to clutch disc replacement.
NOTE: Use an emery cloth to remove minor imperfections in the clutch disc lining surface.
Inspect the clutch disc for:
Oil or grease saturation.
Worn or loose facings.
Warpage or loose rivets at the hub.
Loose or broken torsion dampening springs.
Wear or rust on splines.
Replace the clutch disc if any of these conditions are present.
Use Dial Indicator/Magnetic Base or equivalent to check clutch disc runout. Replace the clutch disc if not within specifications.
Use (A) Clutch Aligner and position the (B) clutch disc on the flywheel.
NOTE: If reusing clutch pressure plate and flywheel, align marks made during removal.
Position the clutch pressure plate on the flywheel and install the pressure plate bolts and tighten them in sequence to specification. Then remove the flywheel holding tool.
Install the transaxle.
Bleed the clutch hydraulic system and adjust the clutch pedal free play.
