S2 engine in an Edge Devil Kitcar

Whatever is easier, you just need to remove the head so the pressure plate will lift off, then as there is no pressure on the thread from the clamping force the remaining stud should undo.

I take it you did clean out the allen key head with a pick, and hammer in the allen key bit? Shock can also help.

Andy, re the irwin tool which looks cool, do you know what size is needed?

I cant remember I am afraid, you get them as a kit of 5, and can get an expansion pack of another 5.

Well worth having if you do this kind of thing.

Yes a rough clean, but it's almost like the 6mm Allen key is too small, as it feels loose in the bolt. A 1/4" Allen socket is ever so slightly larger so I may give one a try.

If you have scrap sockets you could try hammering one of those over the outside, I keep a pile of imperial ones for abusing, works well as long as its a tight fit, really needs to be a smash on.

The irwin tool tightens as you turn it so its better than a socket.

In stock at the local screw fix, might pickup the universal clutch alignment tool while I'm there...

Btw: the plastic end on the clutch slave cylinder arm is split, can I replace just that bit?

[rmcshane]

Weld a nut on the end and rattle gun.

Andy, those Irwin nut removers are the dogs wotsits, they took the bolts out no trouble.

I do now need to replace them, but at least I know the clutch is good with loads of life in it; it looks like the CRB and the slave cylinder need replacing instead!

Thanks all for the advice.

and just to repeat: THOSE IRWIN BOLT GRIPPERS ARE THE MUTTS NUTS!

[andy10v]

Glad you are sorted, I cant live without mine now I have them.

Btw: something I did when removing the clutch plate as all the bolts were being stubborn, I removed three of them and replaced them with 40mm bolts with a nut spun onto them. I removed the other three bolts, then I could use a ring spanner to slowly remove the tension on the pressure plate.

I don't know if anyone on this thread can help, but having removed the gearbox, clutch etc, I notice a difference between my CRB and the one in the New clutch kit I received, although it was the wrong clutch kit, the CRB looked right just thicker.

My gearbox is a 5 speed from the audi 100 I originally had with the NF motor, so when I changed engine I kept the gearbox and CRB, but I don't know if I need to get and audi 100 or S2 CRB. Can anyone help?

That is absolutely mental! Love it!

[quattro-nick]

i think the clutchkit depends on what flywheel you are using,single or dual mass

[edge_devil]

Its a DM, the audi 100 had SM.
