Cool

Then is was on to installing the clutch and pressure plate. But first I had to tighten the flywheel bolts. In order to do the the 120 degrees after torquing to 19 ft-lbs I used an angle measurement tool. I tried to locate the printed degree wheel from 101Projects.com, but it impossible to find it. So I had to improvise.

Locked the flywheel with a $0.75 metal strap from Home Depot. Worked great.



Attached the angle measuring tool (has a magnet) to the side of the breaker bar and noted the angle. Then calculated what the angle would be after 120 degrees. I think I liked using this method a lot and would recommend it to any one else.





I'm installing a new clutch disk and pressure plate for the 987 instead of the 986. Read that it was a nice upgrade.



Guess there is a side that is suppose to face the trans. Make sure you install it the correct way.



The new 987 pressure plate.



All done with the clutch install.
