K100 Clutch Plate Removal/Clutch Push-rod Noobie Question
« on: May 30, 2012, 05:52:20 AM »
Tried to remove the clutch-plate by prying with a nail remover and realized I was prying from the outside and needed to pry from the center out  :loco: Do you guys think that I damaged the plate at all? I read that these plates are real sensitive, just don't want any additional vibration because of this screw up. It was mainly behind the Front Pressure Plate Springs. I didn't apply too much pressure but I did feel some movement. Hope I didn't warp it any.

Also while pulling off the transmission had to wiggle a bit and am wondering if I may have bent the clutch rod, doesn't appear bent but I noticed there was definitely some play in the hole where it came from. Probably normal? I pulled the transmission with my elbows resting on my knees, but it didn't come out perfectly straight which is why I ask.

Update: Got it off finally, what a chore that was. Mega stuck. Wacked it a bunch of times around the Pressure Plate with a rubber mallet then locked Vice Grips and pulled the circumference, gently of course.

Sounds about par for the course to me.  I doubt you bent the clutch rod.
Once I had a Collie pup. Dug a hole and covered him up. Now I sit there by the hour. Waiting for a Collie-flower.
