• 3  - Clutch Pressure Plate
  CAUTION:

  Danger of causing damage to the clutch pressure plate and the dual mass flywheel.

  • Only remove and install the clutch pressure plate -3- when it is pre-tensioned.
  • Clutch pressure plates that are not pre-tensioned will distort when loosening or tightening the bolts -2- and that leads to shuddering when accelerating.
  • The dual mass flywheel must only be supported by the sliding washer -arrow A- when tightening the clutch pressure plate -3- in the hydraulic press.
  • If the dual mass flywheel is supported on the transfer plate -1-, it will distort and be damaged. The dual mass flywheel must then be replaced.

  -- Position the clutch module so the Press Piece - Multiple Use VW510 rests on the sliding washer -arrow A- in the dual mass flywheel.

  -- Place the Hydraulic Press - Ball Joint Assembly Tools - 3 T10254/3 on the clutch pressure plate spring tabs -3- and press it using the press.

  • Pressing distance dimension -x- 8 - 9 mm
  NOTE:

  A second technician is needed for the following step.
