Soak brake pads in oil? You mean clutch plates?

I'm sorry; I corrected my mistake in the previous post. You are supposed to soak the fiber clutch pads in oil for a few hours before you install them. If you didn't do this, the fiber clutch pads will need to soak up oil from the transmission for a few days before they begin to perform optimally.

An overnight soaking of the fiber clutch pads in oil is plenty long enough.

I use an impact to remove and install the nut, but I do it gently. Too much force, and you'll break the aluminum rotor.

I've had some friction discs marinating in Rotella for two years now. I think they're almost ready.

The tool I use to hold the oil pump rotor is my hand in a glove. I still have all of my fingers. I counted very slowly to be sure.
While you're replacing the friction discs, you might want to replace the clutch springs. If you buy some on eBay, be sure to get the correct amount. I haven't changed mine yet, but when I do, I'll likely use heavy duty aftermarket springs.

UPDATE...
I ordered the special socket but it won't be here until next week if that. So I went to the tarp tool store and bought a cheap ($3.00) deep 7/8" socket. I used my caliper to measure where to mark where to cut. After taking the clutch off I looked at the fiber plates. Well some flat. The metal plates had rust on them. I think from sitting for years. Took it for a test ride. I noticed it took off in 1st really aggressive. Like it should be. Went about 5 miles and went great. I soaked the new plates in new oil over night. Thanks everyone.... |
