I will be changing my clutch soon, What to look for?

[dankal]

Hello guys , I will be changing my clutch and flywheel soon so the engine will be coming out. Is there something I need to look out for or are there any parts which are good to change while the engine is out. The engine has 150000 kilometers on it so there might be a few things that need to be renewed. Also, can anyone tell me when it is a good time to change the timing chain or chain tensioner?

P.S. I know this has been posted before but I didn´t find it when I used the search button , so help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Daniel

Get the Clutch Release Bearing changed (usually comes with the clutch kit) and get the input shaft bearing changed. These bearings have gone on a few cars after the clutches were changed which meant 'engine out'. All this trouble just to replace a part which costs around £40-£50 i think.

if they take the engine out to do it, get them to do the water pump too, its only 45 quid.

Re: flywheel

is this right?

 

[hmmm]

...

Can someone confirm or correct that the item circled in red is the Input Shaft Bearing please.

Thanks

 

[AVOGTIR]

that is the bearing

part no 32203-03E10-

but it is cheaper to go to a bearing supplier/wholesaler to get them, as they are about 1/4 of the price.
