Removal and installation the clutch (Chevrolet Niva 1)

Removal: First remove the gearbox (see "Transmission"). Loosen the bolts and remove the clutch housing assembly with the pressure plate. Do not lift this unit by the petals of the pressure spring.

The clutch is installed in the reverse order, with the following:

• check the condition of the bearing at the end of the engine crankshaft, replace the bearing if necessary;
• check the condition of the splines on the driven disk hub and the primary shaft of the gearbox, clean the splines and wash them with white spirit;
• install the clutch, positioning the driven disk with the protruding part towards the pressure plate and center the disk relative to the flywheel using the A.70081 mandrel, which replaces the splined end of the primary shaft of the gearbox (figure 3-3).
