WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: If the clutch disc and pressure plate are to be reinstalled, bolts must be removed evenly or permanent damage to the diaphragm spring will occur, resulting in complete clutch release.

NOTE: If the parts are to be reused, index-mark the clutch pressure plate to the flywheel.
