Installation ("S" & "T" Series Blazer & Pickup, Jimmy & Sonoma)

  1. Use Pilot Bearing Driver (J-1522) to install NEW pilot bearing into flywheel, if removed. See Figure. Lubricate pilot bearing with machine oil. Install Clutch Aligner (J-33169) to support clutch plate. Install clutch plate and pressure plate to flywheel. Ensure reference marks are aligned.
  2. Install and tighten NEW spring washers and bolts evenly to avoid distortion. Remove clutch aligner. Lubricate ball stud and clutch fork fingers with high-temperature grease. Lubricate O.D. groove and pack grease into I.D. recess of release bearing.
  3. If replacing clutch fork retainer, install retainer so fingers and tabs fit into release bearing groove, and retainer wraps around flat side of ball stud. Install ball stud, clutch fork, retainer and release bearing. See Figure.
  4. To complete clutch assembly installation, reverse removal procedure. Tighten all retaining bolts to specifications. Refer to the TORQUE SPECS ("S/T" SERIES BLAZER & PICKUP, JIMMY & SONOMA)  table. Fill reservoir with fluid. See RECOMMENDED FLUID  table under LUBRICATION. Bleed system.
