    Hey man awsome video, love to learn and see it!
    though i have a question regarding the plate, my plate screws (the 2 screws next to the clutch bell gear) are so darn stuck i just can't get m free and loose..
    is it safe to heat it up real good with a heat gun? (no fire) or do you use maybe another method to undo really stuck screws?

      @eastsiderc  Год назад

      Hey bro thanks for watching. You can use a heat gun or just get a soldering iron like a 40watt one from Home Depot and place the pointed tip in the hex head of the screw and hold it there until shes good n hot and break it free ! You must have a billet plate Im assuming and not stock?

    • @eastsiderc
      @eastsiderc  6 месяцев назад +1

      Have taken the whole car apart and put it back together? Sometimes the gear plate can be tricky. Dont give up. You can try the billet clutch carrier set up from fearless rc . Part number RV852282 . That works well for me. Also you can use a little plastic washer on the back side of the brake discs to help guide them truer. Also make sure the screw that holds the brake hex is fully seated into the laysbaft. That can come loose and cause problems. Another issue is the short 6mm screw that is in the separate mount on the clutch side can back out if not full lock tightened and that will cause major brake problems. You can check that stuff buddy. Im sorry to hear your having a headache. I have many tech vids I hope they can help

      @@eastsiderc well, basically yes :/ the whole backend, i might have made a mistake the first time i put it together. (put the pads upside down in there) since then i warped my disc brakes .. i ordered a new set, do you think a small bend in the disc can cause a full lock up ? they keep spreading apart (on the bottom) and then it locks up. I take it for a no brake ride later .. the plastic washer part sounds good, i will try that because it seems like thats exactly the problem, the guidance of the disc's.
      checked all the screws, they're fully in there and tight.
