INSTALLATION
(1) Lightly scuff sand flywheel face with 180 grit
emery cloth. Then clean surface with brake or carbu-
retor cleaner.
(2) Lightly lubricate pilot bearing with Mopar
high temperature bearing grease.
(3) Check free operation of clutch disc by sliding
disc onto transmission output shaft splines. Disc
should slide onto splines freely without binding.
(4) Position clutch disc on flywheel. Be sure side of
disc marked "flywheel side" is positioned against fly-
wheel (Fig. 2). If disc is not marked, be sure flat side
of disc hub is placed toward the flywheel.
(5) Insert clutch alignment tool (Fig. 3) in clutch
disc and pilot bearing.
(6) Position clutch cover over disc and on flywheel.
(7) Install clutch cover bolts finger tight.
(8) Starting with the bolts marked "P" on the cover
first, tighten clutch cover bolts in a star pattern to 50
N·m torque.
(9) Apply light coat of Mopar
bearing grease to pilot bearing and splines of trans-
mission input shaft.
CAUTION: Do not over-lubricate as this will result
in grease contamination of the disc.
