Default Help - RS4 clutch install questions...

I'm preparing to do my clutch in a couple weeks.

1. is removing the pilot bearing a DIY job? If so.. what tools are needed?

2. is a clutch centering tool mandatory - or can it be eye-balled? The engine/trans will be out of the car (my kit didn't include a centering tool).

3. if I need a centering tool ... where do I get one and what do they cost?

thanks!

A1. Dead easy - unclip it with your fingers.


Q2. is a clutch centering tool mandatory - or can it be eye-balled? The engine/trans will be out of the car (my kit didn't include a centering tool).
A2. Definitely - use a tool


Q3. if I need a centering tool ... where do I get one and what do they cost?
A3. Make a makeshift tool or ask around here for someone who has a used one they can give you.

Best wishes,

Ram

Ram- I think he means the pilot bearing in the F/W not the TO bearing. Or am I missing something?

Ah yes - I remember picking that out with the end of the alignment tool!
