Removal
Warning: Clutches and brakes contain asbestos fibers. Avoid breathing dust. Breathing asbestos dust may cause asbestosis and cancer.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
Warning: Breathing asbestos dust is hazardous to your health. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
Warning: Dust and dirt present on wheel brake and clutch assemblies may contain asbestos fibers that are hazardous to your health when
made airborne by cleaning with compressed air or by dry brushing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
Warning: Wheel brake assemblies and clutch facings should be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner recommended for use with asbestos fibers
such as brake/clutch/service vacuum 164-R3600. Dust and dirt from vacuum should be disposed of in a manner that prevents dust exposure
such as sealed bags. The bag must be labeled as per OSHA instructions and the trash hauler notified as to the bag's contents. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
Warning: If a vacuum suitable for asbestos is not available, cleaning should be done wet. If dust generation is still possible, technicians
should wear government approved toxic dust purifying respirators. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
Warning: Grinding or sanding on brake linings, pads, rotors, drums or clutch facings should be done only while using correctly
exhaust-ventilated equipment. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
Warning: OSHA requires areas where asbestos dust generation is possible to be isolated and posted with warning signs. Only technicians
concerned with carrying out brake or clutch service should be present in the area. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal
injury.
1. Remove the transaxle.
2. Using the special tool, lock the flywheel to the engine.
Warning: The clutch disc and clutch pressure plate are heavy and may fall if not held when the bolts are removed. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in personal injury.
Caution: Loosen bolts evenly to prevent pressure plate damage.
3. Remove the bolts, clutch pressure plate and clutch disc.
Caution: Do not use cleaners with a petroleum base and do not immerse the clutch pressure plate in solvent.
