MF135 AD3.152 Coating on new Clutch Assembly

DonJDavis · Aug 14, 2016

Hello, I bought a new clutch assembly for my AD3.152 rebuild project and noticed it had a anti rust coating on the surface that contacts the clutch disc, should I clean/sand this off before bolting the clutch assembly to the pressure plate? I turned the pressure plate so it looks brand new and shiny.
Thanks, Don

Yes, clean it off, carb cleaner, lacquer thinner, anything that doesn't leave residue.

Awesome, thanks, I was wondering if you knew how I can check the clutch adjustment without having that Massey special tool for measuring the clutch release levers? I bought the clutch assembly new but was thinking I should check the adjustment before I bolt the engine back onto the transmission.
I broke one of the 6 clutch bolts today when tightening them down onto the pressure plate but luckily was able to use the top piece of the broken bolt to unscrew the piece out of the pressure plate. I can't seem to find any information on the torque specs for those bolts, is there any listed anywhere? I don't want to over tighten them and break more.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks, Don
