With the floater's mounting ring installed, Saul sets the new aluminum flywheel in place and tightens each bolt with an impact gun. If you're working without air tools, flywheel bolts are torqued to 75 lb-ft.
This is a sample of a critical bolt and washer set. The floater ring is secured to its mount in three places using an Allen bolt and two washers at each point. Installing each bolt-and-washer set in the correct hole of the floater's mounting ring is critical, as the hardware represents weight (in grams) that can affect the clutch assembly's balance and function if the pieces are installed in the wrong place.
Don't try installing the floater ring without help from a buddy. The bottom disc and floater have a tendency to move around while you're trying to secure the floater's fastening hardware. Having extra hands available to keep things in place makes this process much easier.
A pilot tool is included with the clutch kit. Don't hesitate putting it to use when installing a clutch, as it makes spline alignment for the transmission a cinch.
We bolted down the pressure plate evenly in a star-patterned sequence...
...paying close attention to clearances between the pressure plate's hat and each of the mounting tabs for the floater ring.
