clutch install

This is a flywheel, with 60-2 tooth reduction for a sensor to pick up. It goes on the back of the engine, connecting to the crankshaft.
This is the back of the engine, that hole is where the starter motor goes.
First clean off the flywheel with a wire brush and make sure no oil/metal or anything else is on it.
Take the pilot bearing which fits in the flywheel and the spline of the transmission fits into. Comes already lubed however, put just a very tiny amount on it and wipe any excess off, make sure none of the lube gets on the flywheel. Any lithium based grease will work.
Gently tap the bearing into the flywheel after greasing it very lightly.
Then you will put it onto the engine, Most flywheels will only fit on one way like this one I used. just keep turning it until all screw holes line up.
Lol this time I got a new "old" style torque wrench so it wont break bolts...hopefully.
This part is really important, torque the bolts to exactly 74 foot pounds. Any less the flywheel fall off while the car is running.

This is the clutch disc, which rests in between the flywheel and the pressure plate.

This is a clutch alignment tool, to fit the clutch plate onto the flywheel.
Fits into the grooves onto the clutch plate.
then put it on the flywheel.
That is the pressure plate which goes over both and gets torqued to 18 foot pounds.
then  after its all together and aligned in the center, you can remove the clutch alignment tool.
