Install compression tool 9995662 , together with the conversion kit on the clutch. The tool is modified as described in the Volvo Workshop Guide.

Ensure that the hooks engage correctly. Ensure that the hooks do not trap the adjuster springs.

Center the compression tool.

Screw in the compression tool, at the same time checking that the tool hooks are in place.

Compress the clutch so that the automatic adjuster is not under load.

If the clutch is worn, turn the counterhold for automatic adjustment to the original position marking. The marking consists of two stamped arrows.

Then continue to screw in the compression tool until the diaphragm spring has pressed the pressure plate to a free position.

A click can be heard when the clutch pressure plate snaps out.
