HDi Clutch Change

[kentiiboii]

Me sarcastic? Nahhhh.

Seriously though, well done.....no idea how long its taken us now, probably 6 weeks lol.

We got the bottom bolt then, wo just the higher up one to find....hmm....

All our bolts are out we're just struggling to separate the gear box. Defferntly thrust bearing gone as we pulling plastic out. Just hoping there's no damage to gear box.

[samass]

dont forget to remove the clutch fork arm pin before you pull the box off

[Toms306]

That doesn't apply to HDis apparently.

And I've no idea Kent, we havent got any further due to my car being a pile of turd.

[Danny2009]

The spleen!?

And yeah, you'll never get it out without a stud remover lol, was difficult even with it!

[kentiiboii]

   

There we go clutch it out. And the thrust bearing is abliterated!

[Toms306]

Oops, think that's f*cked lol.

[Mr Whippy]

Yeah that looks a bit broken

[kentiiboii]

I think the people who changed the clutch last. Just did clutch and pressure plate. Cos they was luk and thrust bearing was Valeo.
So may it be a lesson to all the cheap skates out there. If your takin the box off do the lot together .

[DaveW]

Ohh wait till you see what was left of my thrustbearing, when i did my clutch.

[Toms306]

Tbh, it hasn't taken us long......it's just that we're doing it so disjointed and at like an hour a time lol.

[kentiiboii]

Mine has taken so long because everything is seized! The hub nut we had breaker bar on it and my weight.... It just laughed at us. Didn't budge. So we took the whole hub out.

[Toms306]

Hub nuts? Yeah leave those buggers lol, theyre at like 350Nm or something lol.

We popped the shfts out of the box still attached to the hubs....

[kentiiboii]

We took the hub on the gear box side out. Because we couldn't menouver the gear box out. Because everything shattered i wanted gear box off to make sure it's ok.

[Toms306]

We're gonna take the gearbox off.....

We popped the hub off the bottom balljoint so theres plenty of space.

One day specially now you might stop going on about your golf!





I was ready to start stripping my pug other day and buy a bora :/

[Toms306]

Don't buy a Bora, they're like a Golf, but worse!

[kentiiboii]

or if you o it make sure you put the bearing in properly! because whoever did it before me put the thrust bearing on the plate back to front! god knows how it worked!

[Toms306]

*makes mental note to put the bearing on the right way*

That sounds like the kind of fail I'd do James haha!

[kentiiboii]

I think i got mine right way. When I go down tomorrow I'll take a picture and send it you dude. . Just got to get the box and drive shafts back in tomorrow.
