Should you degrease a new flywheel and clutch?
Retiring the clutch and flywheel, it lived a good life.
Random question, but is it good practice to degrease my new LUK flywheel and LUK clutch set?
I assume so, since it has a preservative oil on it from the factory like brake rotors and such. I just don't want to contaminate the new clutch.

Will do, thanks! Just put in a new rear main seal while I'm at it.
