So I was putting my clutch in tonight and I accidently broke a bolt. One that I wasn't suppose to tighten as much as I did. I misread the Jap print in the users manual and over torqued it.... (converting Nm to FT/LBS owns me )

Basically, I need help finding a replacement bolt. I e-mailed Exedy and they have yet to get back to me.

Anybody know where to get one? I really don't want to dump another $1k on a clutch for a $.30 bolt....

 

And because evereyone like pics of boo-boo's....

 

just call them tomorrow. I never touch those bolt on my exedy what you messing with them for?

 

Those bolts should not be touched during the clutch installation. I have an old broken pressure plate I can take the bolts out of if you want them.

 

I loosened them by accident....

After looking through the jap manual again.... there isn't even a torque for these.

They have a US phone number? I thought they were based in Japan....

Just found their phone numbers....

LOL.

I bought it used and put new discs in it and cleaned up the surfaces. I got a head of myself during the disassembly and here we are today.

Other than that it is a very well built clutch.

also, I will look into the torque specs on those.

 

YONI ROCKS!!! He is definately the "go to" guy when it comes to anything Exedy related

 

Thanks Yoni... and yeah I will need those specs.

You guys are the best!

 

those bolts should be torqued to 11 ft. lbs.

let me know if you need a replacement bolt.

 

Thanks Yoni. That is about 3x less than what I tried to torque them too....

I will let you know. Cortney was suppose so ship them this morning. I'll let you know.... I would like to get them for this weekend if possible....

PM'd you too.

 

All set everyone.

Between Yoni and Cort this issue has been resolved.
