Tranny Removal Writeup
#41
Hey sorry that took so long to update. So after I got the tranny out theres just a few more steps til you can start reassembly.
Once the tranny is removed there are 6 12mm bolts holding the pressure plate to the flywheel. Remove these one at a time and hold the plate up while you remove the last bolt. Once it is removed set it down and try not to breathe any of the dust off of it.
Now there is 6 14mm bolts holding the flywheel to the end of the crank. You will either need a special tool to hold the flywheel or an impact wrench to remove these. Once they are out grab each side of the flywheel and 'shimmy' it off. Its a very good idea to have it resurfaced, why would you do a brake job without turning the discs? I had a hell of a time removing my pilot bearing but you will need to rent a tool from autozone to remove it. I couldnt get mine out and had to break the inner pieces and remove the outer tapered ring. Once its out of there get the new bearing and lightly coat the outside with bearing grease and line it up with the hole. Lighty tap it in until it seats. Now start the flywheel and torque them to proper specs like you would a wheel, in a star shape. Holding the pressure plate with the clutch aligned with it hold it up to the flywheel and insert your clutch alignment tool. Start these out in a star shape patern as well until the clutch plate is touching the flywheel. Torque these down to spec and get a buddy to help put the tranny back in!

Alright folks. Its back in, to install pretty much do everything you did before but backwards. I dont have torque specs on the bellhousing bolts, I just tighrened them down really good. Once everything is in while its in the air make sure everythings working. Check all your bolts, make sure you connect all your electrical connections and check all yours bolts again. Be nice to it for at least 500 miles! Dont wanna do it all again! Have fun guys.

You can remove the pilot bearing with a long bolt or piece of round bar that just fits through the hole in the bearing. Pack grease in through the hole first, fill it right up then put the round bar in and hit it with a hammer. You have created a "hydraulic press" that will push the bearing out. You may have to refill with grease a couple of times and repeat the process to get the bearing all the way out. I had a friend with a metal lathe turn a piece of round bar a couple of thou smaller that the hole in the bearing, works like a charm!!
