9. This would be a good time to take the driveline measurement per the driveline
instruction sheet so that the new SST driveshaft can be ordered.
See MAA-00100 form in the customer info pack.
D. INSTALL NEW EQUIPMENT
1) Clean all mating engine surfaces and dowel pins.
2) Install new flywheel and flywheel bolts torqued to factory spec. Be sure to tighten
bolts in alternating cross pattern sequence.
3) Install new pilot bearing assembly into crankshaft using a socket of similar
diameter to the bearing and a rubber mallet.
NOTE:
The pilot bearing is designed to be a slight press fit in the bore, and the
pilot bearing hole is not always sized correctly in some crankshafts. Your pilot
bearing OD should be between one-half of a thousandth and two thousandths of
an inch (0.0005” - 0.002”) larger than the ID of the hole in your crankshaft. If
outside of this range, a different pilot bearing is required, or your crankshaft or
pilot bearing may be modified to fit. Contact your local parts store or machine
shop for a suitable replacement or to modify your existing parts.
4) Using clutch alignment tool, attach clutch disc and pressure plate to flywheel.
Install each bolt with medium thread locking compound only finger tight on the
first round, then incrementally tighten each one in a star pattern sequence until
all are snug. Torque each one in the same sequence to 35 lb.-ft.
NOTE: When installing the pressure plate and clutch disk onto the
flywheel, NEVER use power or air tools. Using power or air tools will cause
the flanges of the pressure plate to distort. This will in turn cause uneven
pressure plate finger heights, which will lead to inconsistent or
unsuccessful clutch releases.
See MAA-05000 clutch installation instructions for more details.
