NOTE:

A clutch must never be installed without using a compression tool.

Mark where the compression tool hooks should be seated. See Blocking The Flywheel .

Install the counterhold for automatic adjuster for the clutch. See Installing The Counterhold .

Install the compression tool on the clutch. See Installing Compression Tool .

Tighten the compression tool until the diaphragm spring has pressed the clutch pressure plate to the free position. A loud click can be heard when the clutch pressure plate "snaps out".

The clutch is now ready for installation with the compression tool and counterhold in position.
