D series gear box removal

[Rice_banger]

ok, dam i did wrong , i just mounted the flywheel with out doing criss cross pattern well i did but didn't have clue

and amm , so the flywheel cover the black thing , does that slip in before doing up the flywheel or after ?

the fly wheel cover goes on after you've bolted the gearbox back on. one of the last few things that goes on.

along with all the brackets and wiring loom.

ok cool cheers

and now god im embarced to ask this

but i bought a super cheap auto brand clutch aligning tool , got instructions on the back but i dont quite 110% under stand it , any advice

[JasonGilholme]

once the fly wheel is on you put the tool into the center where the pilot bearing goes. (the hole)

then you slip the fricion disc over it to center it on the fly wheel. then you put the pressure plate over the top of the friction disc and line its holes up on the flywheel.

as you tighten the pressure plate (in the way i described before) you need to keep jiggling the alignment tool and making sure the friction disk isn't stopping it from coming out.

the tool needs to slide in and out smoothly as its exactly what the input shaft on the gear box has to do (an alignment tool can be made from the input shaft out of interest)

make sure you go around the pressure plate a few times, you will find that once you do your pattern once the bolts that you thought were tight will feel looser. just keep on going around the pattern until they're all done up firmly.
