Reset adjustment ring of the self-adjusting pressure plate
Special tools and workshop equipment required
t  Thrust piece -MP3-408 (VW 412)-
t  Pressure washer -T30047 (3062)-
Only when installing a new clutch disc with a used self-adjusting pressure plate, the adjustment ring of the pressure plate must be turned back to the stop.
If the adjustment ring is not turned back, the application force of the clutch is reduced, this results in an increased wear of the clutch disc.
If the clutch disc is not replaced, the adjustment ring must not be turned back. New pressure plates are already preadjusted and must not be reset.
   
–  Insert 3 fixing screws -A- offset by 120° into the fixing holes of the pressure plate as shown in the Fig.
–  Turn 3 nuts -B--M8- on the screws -A- and then tighten the nuts.

–  Position the pressure plate in such a way that only the 3 screw heads -arrows- are lying on the workshop press.
–  Center the pressure washer -T30047 (3062) - in the middle of the pressure plate.
  Note
Do not use any force for the following operation, because the adjustment ring forks can break off.
