Removal
1. Remove the gearbox assembly (for more details, see the relevant section in this chapter).
2. To prevent deformation of the pressure plate during removal (which would cause jerking during acceleration), it is necessary to loosen the pressure plate as follows:
Note: Before loosening the mounting screws, the locking tool (MP1-223 (3067)) shown in the figure below must be installed.
Loosen the screws gradually in a crosswise direction. When unscrewing, it is necessary to release the stop (2) with the pin (1), as shown in the figure below. If the stop does not release: Press the journal towards the flywheel.
3. Remove the clutch housing assembly.
Installation
1. Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal. Please observe the conditions below.
Note:
- The pressure plate and driven clutch disc must always be replaced as an assembly.
- The pressure plate and clutch disc must be selected according to the engine code.
- The twin-disc flywheel, pressure plate and clutch friction disc are matched to each other and cannot be installed together with parts from other manufacturers.

Checking the ends of diaphragm springs
Permissible wear is up to half the thickness of the springs (arrows).
Checking the fastening of springs and riveted joints
Check the spring fastenings between the pressure plate and the cover for cracks and the riveted connections for tightness of installation. A pressure plate with damaged spring mounts or loose rivet connections (arrows) must be replaced.
Note:
- Clutch discs and pressure plates with damaged or loose riveted connections must be replaced.
- To limit the unpleasant smell of a burnt clutch, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the clutch housing, flywheel and engine on the gearbox side.
- Clean and remove rust from the drive shaft splines and the used clutch disc also has a fine-spline hub connection. Lubricate the splines with a thin layer of grease (G 000 100). Slide the disc back and forth along the drive shaft until the hub slides easily along the shaft. It is absolutely necessary to remove excess grease.
- The pressure plates are provided with anti-corrosion protection and lubricated with consistent grease. Therefore, it is only permissible to clean the working surface on them, otherwise the durability of the adhesion would be significantly reduced.
- Before installing the screws, the clutch disc and pressure plate must be fully seated against the flywheel. Only then should the mounting screws be put on.
- To tighten the screws, use the counter support (MP1-223 (3067)) again.
- Place the pressure plate onto the centering pins.
- To center the disc, use a centering mandrel (MRZ-475A (3190A)), as shown in the figure below.
To prevent deformation of the pressure plate during installation (which would cause jerking during acceleration), the pressure plate must be installed as follows:
- Make sure that the limiter can be moved freely (position sensor) (arrow).
- Tighten all screws evenly by hand so that the screw heads are flush with the pressure plate.
- The screws should be tightened in several stages and crosswise so as not to damage the centering holes of the pressure plate and the centering pins of the flywheel, while the thrust pin (arrow) should rise from the pressure plate.
- Tighten all 6 screws gradually to the specified tightening torque.
- Install the gearbox assembly (for more details, see the relevant section in this chapter).
