Next, attach the new flywheel to the crankshaft with 8 new bolts. Use red thread lock on the bolts. Torque the bolts to the manufacturer's specification, ensuring that the flywheel mounts flat against the crankshaft. The new flywheel came from South Bend Clutch with the pilot bearing pressed into it.
Using the plastic clutch alignment tool that came with the kit, place the new clutch in position against the flywheel. It's important that the flywheel, clutch disc, and pressure plate remain absolutely clean and free of oil or other contaminants as they are installed.
With the clutch alignment tool in place, bolt the new pressure plate to the flywheel using the supplied bolts and red thread lock. Bolt the pressure plate on evenly, using a star pattern and tightening them incrementally. Torque the bolts using the manufacturer's specification. After the pressure plate is bolted into place, it will hold the clutch disc in place, so the clutch alignment tool can be removed.
