  3. Using front axle grease, lubricate the transmission input shaft pilot bearing.
    CAUTION:
    • To prevent damage do not force the adjusting ring. Additional pressure may be required on the diaphragm fingers if the adjusting ring does not turn readily.
    NOTE:
    • Clean the clutch cover and flywheel with a commercial alcohol based solvent so surfaces are free from oil film. Do not use cleaners with a petroleum base. Do not immerse the clutch cover in the solvent.

    Always adjust the clutch cover before installation.

  4. Compress the clutch diaphragm fingers. Position the clutch pressure plate in a press. Using a suitable adapter, press the clutch diaphragm fingers until the adjusting ring moves freely.
