2007 Ford Focus Pressure Plate Parts Q&A

• Q: How to Ensure Proper Installation of the Pressure Plate on a 2007 Ford Focus?

  A: Service and fixing operations for clutch disc and pressure plate start with removing the transaxle. Remove the clutch pressure plate-to-flywheel bolts while rotating them two turns at a time before taking out the bolts and disc and pressure plate together. Dispose of the bolts. A commercial alcohol-based solution should clean the clutch pressure plate and flywheel before installation but the pressure plate should never be submerged in the solvent and petroleum-based cleaners should be avoided entirely. Set the clutch disc onto the clutch pressure plate then use a proper aligner tool to place it at the center. Place the clutch disc together with the clutch pressure plate onto the flywheel while you install six brand-new clutch pressure plate-to-flywheel bolts. The 6 clutch pressure plate-to-flywheel bolts should be tightened equally using a star pattern to achieve a torque of 29 Nm (21 ft. lbs.). The transaxle should be reattached following the removal of the clutch aligner.
