Did this job for 32 years before retiring from it. Lining a clutch up by eye is always a bit dodgy as if you are the slightest bit out, you'll struggle. Easiest way is if you know someone at a metalwork company, ask them to turn one down for you. Even easier way is use an old 1st motion/ primary shaft from an old gearbox of the same type. Over the years I made up a collection of a dozen of them.
Quick question , I was taught to always skim the flywheel so the new clutch has a clean mating surface , flywheel doesn’t seem to be that great in this vid , would it not be safer to have it machined Again , just asking for your thoughts , I also know once you remove the flywheel on these Scanias you have to do the rear main seal as well. What are your guys thoughts on this ?
Brilliant man love watching and learning thank ❤️👀👀👀👀👀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
They do me old 🏍! And I’d advise any who hasn’t done one before to get one because it’s a sh*ter when you have to take the box out again because the plates in the wrong place lad🏍 💨
Hi mate Proper work like me we love it Well I have to share this with you Had little iveco 10t for test checked over no day running lights which are also the side lights turns out it was the headlight at fault ,but you are advised to change both if one stops working the other one won't work& if you put one in &the other one has a fault it will destroy the new one £780.00 each what's wrong with a 20p bulb Have a great week end
Oh my god that’s crazy! How do you explain that to the customer...... side lamp fault mate just call the bill £2000 🤣 yeah as you said what was wrong with a normal bulb! To much technology in simple things nowadays. Enjoy the weekend pal
I once did a clutch where the starter fitted from the gearbox side, fwd car can't remember what it was. But it meant you could tighten the clutch cover AFTER the box was in position, made lining it up alot easier. Can you reach the pressure plate bolts through that big access hole on the Scania box ?
@@FromMetayou I know the old vauxhall novas had a cover on the bottom of the bell housing, you took the end cover off the gearbox allowing you to withdraw the input shaft. Do a clutch in 15min, without removing the box. The car I was thinking of was normal FWD set up , apart from the position of the starter motor, you could leave the clutch cover finger tight, mount the gearbox, and then tighten the clutch through the starter hole with an apprentice (me) turning the engine on the bottom puller to bring each clutch bolt into position. I want to say Meastro or Montego, but didn't they use VW gearboxes? .....
Best way to align any clutch-plate is to have an old shaft you cut off a scrap box with a grinder. Pop that in & it's guaranteed aligned. However, it's almost impossible to have every sort of shaft to hand, so you will buy clutch alignment tools - which are mostly absolute rubbish that wobble about like washing lines because the designers have never changed a clutch & make a better living selling crappy tools instead. You then get to play the "Find something laying about that fits tightly" game - which can lead to hours of fun. "Eyeballing it" usually tends to show up just how crap your eyeballing skills are when you're there trying to refit the box & it won't go because your eyeballing was more balls than eye & it's off by half a mil. 20 minutes of "really lining it up properly" usually beats hours of frustration, pushing, cursing & threatening to get a sledge-hammer because the bl00dy shaft won't go in. I am also jealous of your very posh transmission jack - it looks close to wonderful. Ours is crap - probably came out of the same factory as the clutch alignment tools.

Always amazed how mechanics keep straight the dozens of different jobs they do. Awesome.
Lovely job Chris 🚛🚜🚚⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👏👏👏

Do they not do a clutch alignment tool Like you use on cars?
They do me old 🏍! And I’d advise any who hasn’t done one before to get one because it’s a sh*ter when you have to take the box out again because the plates in the wrong place lad🏍 💨
How much do you torque the pressure plate bolts?
they meant to be 47nm

Bro, I worked as an engine engineer in Bangladesh for ten years
The age old problem of lining up the box ! I hate rolling about on the floor , specially now I’m nearly 65 , it gets harder to get back up 😂😂👍🏻😞😞
Great Work
Good job mate I love the you explain and work I also getting some idea too thanks.
What a funny happy Chavvy you really are. Keep on struggling mate.
Spot on I've always lined a clutch up by eye proper 👌
I’ve used a broom handle as a clutch lining up tool, wrap a load of tape around it so it’s a snug fit in the friction plate
If you can get your hands on a old gearbox input shaft and cut him in half you can use that as an alignment tool.
Well done lad, used to do the same
Ive had those spring pin bushes which are threaded, snap in half, especially front right. ,😃
Just shows you they get some pressure on!
Thank you sir
If you don't struggle then the jobs not going right 😂😂😂😂😂
