NOTE:

The SAC pressure plate adjuster ring must be turned back prior to installation when the clutch plate is replaced exclusively. Refer to SAC clutch pressure plate adjuster ring, resetting onward.
The clutch plate lining and the contact surface of the pressure plate must make full contact with the flywheel before the securing bolts are inserted.
Tighten securing bolts evenly and in diagonal sequence in small steps to avoid damaging centering holes in pressure plate and centering pins on flywheel.

Installation position of clutch plate: spring pack (coil springs) or marking "Getriebeseite" toward pressure plate and transmission.
Loosen and tighten bolts gradually in several stages working diagonally. Tightening torque: 25 Nm.
Re-position Retainer 10-201 when removing.
Use mandrel 3176 to center clutch plate.
