Clutch Chatter

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: SS427</div><div class="ubbcode-body">An easy way to get the bushing out, insert grease behind the bushing and a little around an old input shaft on the bearing surface if you have one. Insert the shaft all the way in and using a rubber mallet, hit it a few times and the hydraulics will push the bushing right out. Works great.</div></div>

In GM tech school, there were all sorts of pullers, etc. for various tasks -- we were also instructed on this little trick. With that being said, I have NEVER used a puller on many engines -- pack the cavity with grease, tap on an old input shaft and hydraulic the bushing out.

New pilot bushing sat on a paper towel overnight and left zero trace of oil or anything. I installed it and put a very light coat of anti-seize on the inside.


Progress today [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]




More progress....Thanks to several responders in this thread, note the proper positioning of the throwout bearing on the fork [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] Bearing came from Hays with a light coating of grease on the inside of the collar.




Still more progress....

I had to laugh when I saw this photo. I can't tell you how many times as a teenager I tried the old &quot;put a baggie on the tailshaft to catch the gear lube&quot; trick...and got deluged by a waterfall of gear lube when it filled the bag to capacity and then popped it. Oh, the folly of youth.... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
