Well I checked when I got home last night and I'd made a few mistakes... It wasn't aligned properly and I had the friction disc the wrong way round... I then tried to take the pressure plate back off to fix it only to discover I must've put the bolts on way to tight as they wouldn't budge. I then proceeded to split every 10mm socket I had (about 6) trying to loosen them and managed to round off the heads on most of the bolts in the process. In the end I got the chisel out and had to practically dig away under the bolts to release enough pressure to get them out by hammering a 5/8 socket on as it was the closest I had left at this point. So my pressure plate is pretty much ruined I guess but my flywheel is ok. I'm guessing now I need to buy a new clutch kit as it's pointless to only replace the pressure plate Anyone know if the clutch kits on ebay are any good or a waste of money?
