Clutch Question (First time replacing clutch on my own)

I need to know how many foot pounds of torque to put on the pressure plate on a stock 88 crx si d16a6 and how important is it to have the flywheel resurfaced and also how much torque on those bolts

Re: Clutch Question (VASlowTec)

Flywheel resurfacing isnt necessary unless the flywheel is scored or damaged, but its allways a good idea.

I believe the flywheel bolts are something like 45 ft-lbs and the pressure plate bolts are 18 ft-lbs.

But those are just from memeory, look it up in a shop manual online

MAKE SURE TO USE A 12 sided socket on those bolts

Re: Clutch Question (VASlowTec)

From the 1988 manual
flywheel=87 lb-ft
clutch cover/pressure plate=19 lbs-ft

Do surface the flywheel while you have it out..
that way you won't have any regrets...
