ae111 clutch

[Stott69]

Can anyone point me in the direction on info for the clutch in a ae111 bzr?
Need to change mine and want to know what the ins and outs are

[frost]

um what do you need to know?

there 212mm(surface friction area) and is a very generic clutch and cover. found in most fwd small cc toyota cars.
exidy. rpm. TGP. make stock and uprated items for them but not needed if stock engine.
you'll need the flywheel skimmed(depending on the condition) not always needed if the face is still nice and smooth. but best to. oh and new flywheel bolts is a good idea.

[Stott69]

never done a clutch in a fwd. Is there a how to of pulling the gear box out online?

[Dell'Orto]

Its pretty straightforward really, just pull all the bolts out then put most of them back in when you're done

[Stott69]

sweet that you know, might end up asking some of the local guys to give me a hand. beer will be in the fridge for when the car goes again

If you want to skim the flywheel (a good idea) you'll have to allow time for that to get done.

To get gbox out
-disconnect wires, clutch line etc
-remove starter
-take weight of engine with crane or similar
-drain oil from gbox
-drop out the cross member(s)
-undo gbox bolts to engine, and backing plate
-support gbox with something (I use a low rise tranny jack)
-undo gbox mounts
-lower gearbox and engine slowly (leaving cambelt side mount on)
-should get to a point where you can pry the gbox off
-pray that you have your car jacked up enough to wheel the gbox out underneath.

that how I do it anyway

fitting is opposite of above

You forgot the cvs. You need to pull hem out of the hub or break the cv's apart.

[Bling]

Sounds more and more like a c**t of a job

oh lol, yuh cv's, more often than not you'll need to drop the lower arm off the suspension to get eth CVs out, and remove the tie rod ends from the hub carrier too. (large hammer required as I found out )

I recomend using smthing better than just a sizzor jack, but they do work if you have no other choice. but if you just put one under the gearbox and pull it onto it then lower the jack. that works quite well. or put a mattress under it and let it fall hehe. all the other stuff is really just common sence

[xsspeed]

who said anything about scissor jack?

Use a low profile transmission jack if you can get your hands on one. Makes it very easy

[Stott69]

sweet cheers for that, might borrow the two chain and blocks from work to hold every thing, not to keen to have any of the car fall on me

Leave tie rods on, just drop the nut/bolt for the bottom ball joint and everything will move out of the way. Undo the CV nut and shafts should come out without anything else needing undoing
