New clutch success

Post by scoobymine » Fri Jan 27, 2012 3:17 pm

Just finished fitting my new clutch. The old one was in a bad way with both thrust bearing and spigot bearing seized. Picked up the new clutch on ebay and while the motor was on the bench i removed the flywheel and replaced both seals (both were very poor). Stupidly i broke my bearing carrier and thanks to the generosity of RSR555 who went to the trouble to post one down to me i was able to finish the job. While the motor was on the bench i decided to do the valve clearances (all were tight). made myself a clutch alighnment tool out of a socket and a few bits and pieces, and the engine slid in first go, much to my surprise. She's very quiet now, clutch feels great. I know i saved myself big dollars. Thanks again to RSR555 for the bearing carrier. Worth having a go yourself.
