Big 'D' Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 beleive me ive tryed force any more force and iam going 2 snap gearbox Have you removed the clutch pivot pin? Cheers Iain
StewartyBoy Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 On the passenger side of the box. You need a 10mm allen key to remove this cap. Then you need to find a M4 or M6, not sure which, bolt to thread into the pin. You can see the end of the pin and the threads here. You should be able to slide this out by pulling on it, jiggling the clutch fork should help free it.
Big 'D' Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) On the passenger side of the gearbox right next to where the starter is mounted there is a round plug with a 10mm (i think) allan key drive in the centre of it, if you remove that this will expose the pin, the pin has a threaded hole down its centre, if you remove one of the battery clamp rods you can screw the rod into the pin and withdraw it, then lift the clutch lever out of the gearbox bell housing, it wont come out through the top but move it up out the way if you get my meaning. Cheers Iain Edited August 3, 2009 by Big 'D'
Big 'D' Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 LOL beat me to it, the battery clamp rod fits the thread in the pin perfectly to make extracting it easy Cheers Iain
StewartyBoy Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) HAHA great minds...the easiest way to re-assemble is to mount the thrust bearing on the gearbox as it was before the pin was removed. Do up the allen 10mm then when you have a couple of bolts in grab the clutch fork and pull it towards the rear of the car. You should feel a click meaning the thrust bearing is attached to the pressure plate as it was before removal. Edited August 3, 2009 by StewartyBoy
WUZ Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 One of the bolts holding the Cambelt Covers on is a smaller and easier-sized bolt to use when removing the Pivot Pin
