The first step to service or repair clutch disc and
Pressure Plate is transmission removal. You should index-mark both the clutch pressure plate and
Flywheel only if you plan to reinstall these components. The clutch pressure plate and clutch disc require you to first remove all their securing bolts. The inspection of the transmission input shaft
Pilot Bearing should assess misalignment and looseness in the
Crankshaft for gasoline engines or flywheel for diesel engines in addition to examining scoring and discoloration and wear and broken rollers in the needle rollers with a check for damage to the seal and lubricant leakage. The transmission input shaft pilot bearing needs replacement if there are any discovered issues. For transmission input shaft pilot bearing lubrication use Krytox High-Temperature Grease because draining lubricant might occur during the transmission removal process. The procedure to reset the wear indicator begins by using appropriate tools to depress the fingers until the adjusting ring becomes free-moving and then turning the adjusting ring counterclockwise to squeeze the tension springs before eventually stopping the finger pressure to hold the reset configuration. Use a clutch alignment tool in the pilot bearing to position the clutch disc on the flywheel for alignment purposes since 5.4L/6.8L engines require a 1-1/4 inch input shaft yet 6.0L engines require a 1-3/8 inch input shaft with a 0.98 inch pilot bearing inner diameter. When reusing the stock clutch pressure plate along with the flywheel line up the index marks prior to installing the pressure plate onto the dowels which number to two in the diesel version and three in the gasoline version. A suitable clutch alignment tool should guide you to correctly position the clutch disc with the pressure plate followed by clutch pressure plate bolt installation through a star pattern tightening sequence while still using the clutch alignment tool. Perform transmission installation then execute a functional test of the system for its proper working state.
