my clutch and flywheel fitting (picture heavy)
my clutch and flywheel fitting (picture heavy)
Right ill start off by saying im no mechanic.. it took me for ever... and i dont want to do it again anytime soon hah
i done it on my larry and i really wish i has a hand as the car wasnt all that high and the gearbox was heavier than i thought.. only had it set up on wheels but i worked with what i had
and i might not have done things right etc or how you should do ... but hey tell me whats what and ill be happy to listen!
anyway on to some pictures (no fancy shots was kind of grubby and wanted to try to finish it!)
got the car up to a height i first thought was plenty high enough
whipped what under tray i had left under there off
then took my decat pipe off
bit of scrapage
split my prop
then i slid the prop out the gearbox (woops)
prop on the floor
took the shifter and that off
then hunted for the bell housing bolts (only seemed to take this picture but had three long extension bars and two small ones to get to the top ones and one for the starter motor
bolts all out and just resting while i figured out how to get it to the floor without breaking it
dropped it onto a wheel i had laying about
had to slide the prop back in as gearbox oil started to come out the rear of the box where i took the prop out
part 2 below (picture limit)
continued from first post dude to picture limit
old clutch intact ready to be taken off
old clutch plate (suprised at condition of it as the abuse its had)
old dual mass flywheel
flywheel off
got hungry!
cleaned up the jun lightened flywheel (much lighter!!)
torqued up the flywheel with new bolts and threadlock
flywheel fitted
new clutch kit to go in
clutch on and alligned to what i though was right...
box ready to be lined up
then realised i couldnt lift the box and hold it up long enough to allign it so i improvised..
eventually got it on... what a pain!!
then done all the bell housing bolts back up.. no photos
exhaust back on
and it all back together!
comments/criticism welcome!!
Merged both threads into one
Nice one yeah not exceeded the picture limit before and yeah was pretty chuffed on doing it on my own so was all good bit hard to get use to but not heavy on the foot atall!! Thought I was going to have to get hulk legs after what I heard..

Ooh that brings back horrible memories of dropping the gearbox off the LS eh Dan? Especially the "Hold on, wtf are we going to support this with?" stage.
Good work :thumbup1: Out of interest did you have to use anything to jam the crank in order to stop it rotating when you did up the flywheel bolts? I've had to put a breaker bar on the crank pulley before braced against the floor to stop it rotating and I know the 1G-FE turns over pretty easily as Ed's turned over when we had a socket on the water pump pulley!
How's the balancing now that you've aligned it by eye and had the prop off and on again? Any rattles or vibrations?
