Great work. Those clutch bolts may have a dab of thread lock on them hence the reason they didn’t want to come out. Just a quick blast with the maf gas should melt the thread lock and then they’ll come out easy
Did you grease the clutch splines with Moly grease on assembly? Did your clutch come with a little packet of grease? Did you remember to grease all the splines?
Nice one. I seen on a different video it was said that you won't get friction plate to line up without the bmw alignment tool, did you use this or just do it by eye ? If not how did you hack it? Looks like you are cracking on, be sorted in no time 👍
When I did this repair on my K1200RS, which has a very similar clutch setup, I stuck the clutch push-rod into the pilot bearing in the engine output shaft, then slipped a 3/8” drive socket over the pushrod. I believe it was the 12mm socket that the outside diameter was a perfect fit inside the splines of the clutch disk, but you’d have to try different sizes to find the best fit. The 3/8” square drive hole is a little sloppy fit to the push rod, so I wrapped a little scotch tape around the push-rod to snug it up. I’ve done 2 clutches this way and the transmission lines up and installs easily with that trick. No need for a special tool.
Very interesting keep up the great work love watching this type of issues 😅
thanks Terry
Good progress 👍
thank you

Great tip, didn't even consider thread lock until I started putting it back together, will remember next time 👍

@@danpos1971 Hi Dan, didn't come with the grease but had some SACHS clutch grease 👍

Hi mate, just did it by eye, the back plate didn't really make a difference 👍 thanks for watching

So, it was the 10 minutes option ;-)
🏍👍👍👍
Thanks Stephen 👍
I set my clutch pressure plate to 18nm will This matter???? I seen it on RUclips someone did 18nm
Wouldn't think so, I just got the torque settings online, as long as they are tight you should be ok 👍
