–  Apply counterhold -T20176- to slacken bolts of pressure plate.   Note t  When removing pressure disk, use centring guide -U 10050/A- and adapter -U-10050/T- so that clutch plate does not fall. t  When removing pressure disk from engine assembly, take care that clutch plate does not fall. This can cause damage. –  Slightly slacken bolts diagonally at each stage. –  Remove pressure disk and clutch plate. Installing Install in reverse order, observing following:   Note t  If required, pressure plate and clutch plate must always be renewed together. Select clutch plate and pressure plate according to engine code and → Electronic parts catalogue „ETKA“. t  Check whether dowel sleeves for centring the engine/gearbox assembly are fitted in the cylinder block; install if necessary. t  If the dowel sleeves are not fitted, this will lead to gear-change problems, clutch malfunction and in some cases gearbox noise (gears will make rattling noises).

Installation position of clutch plate l  The lettering „Getriebeseite“ should face towards the gearbox.

Check ends of diaphragm spring l  Wear up to half the thickness of the diaphragm spring -arrows- is permissible.

Checking spring connections and riveted connections –  Check spring connections -arrows A- for damage and riveted connections -arrows B- for secure seating.

Checking position of adjustment mechanism (new pressure plates only) l  The two edges -A- of the adjuster ring should be located between the two notches -arrows B-. l  If the adjuster ring is in a different position on a new pressure plate, the pressure plate and clutch plate must not be installed. l  The adjuster ring may be located outside the notches when the clutch is used.
