OK..this bonehead just read that if you're reusing the existing pressure plate be sure that its put back as marked to the flywheel when it it was removed.
I DIDN"T DO THAT

Now what?
Also..do I just drop the clutch disc down into the pressure plate (longer part of spline facing the rear) after bolting the bottom of the pressure plate?? Should I just try to line the disc as best as possible with the pressure plate circumference?

PLease help me out here.
Thanks

 

The pressure plate is not balanced to the flywheel, so you are OK by not marking how it came off. A spare transmission input shaft makes it easy to line up the disc. If you don't have one you can usually eyeball thru the splines to the pilot bearing and center it close enough to get it back together.

pheww..thanks
Just snapped one bolt of six from pressure pate going into flywheel..just not my day!

 

The torque spec is not that high on those bolts, 17 - 20 ft-lbs. Make sure your bolts are the correct ones with a shoulder, too. Hardware store bolts won't cut it.

In your other thread, I linked to a clutch disc alignment tool for $5, well worth the cost.

 

yea thanks..I saw that Hex bolt vs. shoulder image..stopped everything until I find those shoulder bolts..now I have to deal with that snapped bolt..damn!!

 

O'Reilly or other auto parts stores can order ARP pressure plate bolts. I ordered mine thru Summit.

PP bolts: ARP 150-2201 @ summit: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ar...2201/overview/

My local clutch shop also carries good PP bolts. As I recall they are the same as either SBF or SBC bolts.
