Do you have to use thread lock on the big pressure plate retaining bolts? And also do any of you lot use centre tools when refitting the clutch? Because i haven't got one......
if you want to use thread-lock use it wont do any harm, however ive never noticed any when removing them - i think there is a torque setting but i dont do torque wrenches much as far as getting the clutch central just gauge by eye with the help of an appropriate hand tool (open end of 10mm spanner) at 0,90,180,270 degress - always works spot on.
nice from far, far from nice is the term you are looking for! its had a few changes since that pics - but its in hibernation now.
the proper new bolts come with threadlock pre-applied. Use a torque wrench and dont re-use the old ones. For the cost of new its not worth risking your flywheel falling off at 6k rpm, sawing thru the bulkhead and killing a passenger...
my clutch kit came with the new ones inside and as mentioned pre thread locked,there were 2 settings in the haynes so i did the highest one think it was 100nm
Mines all fitted now. the lower torque setting is for bolts without shoulders. Mine came pre thread locked as well. Should have checked before posting! lol.
