Anyone else had as much fun as i have installing a new clutch into a hilux.
heres me thinking i could do it all by myself thinking it would be easy as piss
altho to my own credit i did do it all bymyself lol. 2 days later and black grime/grease/dirt everywhere. but hey my new clutch works like a charm now

Well instead of starting a new thread could someone tell me the required torque needed for the flywheel bolts at all. Oh its a 84 hilux 4Y petrol.
Cheers Kramer.

theres a measurement on the touque wrench called "phucken tight". thats the setting everyone uses otherwise consult your vehicle manual.
cheers

Or cheap impact gun don't use good quality gun or a little bit to much trigger happy and it'll go to over phucken tight and snap the bitch off.

When I torque up bolts, I crank em up until my elbow clicks..then I know its tight enough..
I inherited that Torque Wrench from my old man

Cool thanks guys!
I usually use that setting but this is a brand new motor and I wanted to get it right!

There is two ways to get the torgue right.
1. Tighten it until it strips and then back it off half a turn.
2. 2 grunts. Swing off the rachet and tighten until you grunt twice and all is good. By the way a Hilux clutch is a piece of piss to do yourself!
