Clutch installation (Opel Frontera A)

The clutch is installed in the reverse order of its removal. In this case, it is necessary to keep the following in mind:

1. With the clutch removed, check the needle bearing inside the crankshaft (for manual transmission).

2. Insert the staples as described above.

3. Install the driven disk on the flywheel in accordance with the marking "Getriebseite" - gearbox side.

4. If a used clutch is being installed, install it in accordance with the existing markings. The new clutch can be installed in any position.



5. To center the driven disk, use a centering mandrel (1) (illustrated). If you have experience, centering can be done by eye. You can use the old primary shaft for this. Please note that not all models have the same gearbox.

6. Tighten the clutch mounting bolts evenly in a crisscross pattern. Tighten the M7 bolts to 15 Nm, M8 to 28 Nm. At the same time, it is necessary to hold the flywheel from turning. In some cases, Torx screws are used for fastening. During the centering process, move the mandrel back and forth so that it does not get pinched.

7. After tightening the clutch, remove the three clamps. Sometimes they fall out on their own when the clutch is tightened. If the staples fall out, they can get caught inside the clutch. Make sure this doesn't happen.

8. Reinstall the gearbox.
