Rorgasm 10 Posted August 28, 2012 Morning all. Finally got round to doing some work on the G60 engine i have aquired. Took the Gearbox off with no problems but came to taking the clutch off & it seems to have Spline bolt holding it on (the type with the teeth on the outside of the bolt). Is this common?? Should i be refitting the clutch back on with spline bolt do you reccon?? Rory Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) do you mean the six 12 point bolts that hold the clutch pressure plate to the flywheel? they're just multi-point bolts, nothing special. undo and retighten opposite bolts and tighten to 20Nm. There shouldn't be 'spline bolts' in there, like the ones used for driveshaft joints where a multi spline tool is inserted into the centre of the bolt head.

Rorgasm 10 Posted August 28, 2012 That must be what im looking at. looks like an inside out spline. very similar to this but with a round hole in the middle of it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]69167[/ATTACH] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted August 29, 2012 perhaps they're uprated? try a google for uprated clutch bolts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted August 29, 2012 why would you need to uprate 6 little 10/11mm bolts that torque to 20Nm :scratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
