HELP PLEASE . Ive ajusted my clutch now to the book , no joy although a gap does appear when clutch is pressed . ive also had a go at front end up starting in gear clutch down and breaking hard and still its a no go . Now having a go at taking the clutch out and this is where im stuck . Got as far as taking out the input shaft . undone the six nuts on the pressure plate and this is where my problem is . Cant lift it out as the the bit where the clutch bearing is on is in the way . do i need to take that out as well . Cant find anything in the manual that says i should . |

Pictures are very nice but no help for me . Fwd 1300 and don't need to take the gearbox out . There is a space from the flywheel and the release bearing but no where near enough to lift it out . |

Have you undone the two release bearing adjuster bolts on the left hand side of the gearbox to allow the bearing to be moved right back ? Gordon Townley RBRR 2014,2016,2018 |

Yep the release bearing plate is loose and pushed back fully . Flywheel and the pressure plate , are they the same thing !! And should that be free from the engine to lift out with only the six bolts taken out .( Off the cover plate )if so then that is where my problem is . |

The flywheel and pressure plate are not the same thing. If I understand correctly you are trying to separate the two at this point. Note that after taking out the 6 x 5/16" UNC bolts holding the pressure plate to the flywheel there are still (or should be) 3 dowels. The pressure plate will therefore need carefully need levering away (work around the circumference to ensure it comes away evenly) until it's off the dowels.

If the driven plate (friction plate) is rusted to either (or both) of the pressure plate or flywheel then the clutch won't disengage. They don't usually put up much fight once things are dismantled though. A surprising small amount of rust can cause all this work.....
