Dealers only R&R S70

Klaus...you talked me into it. I will attack in the AM tomorrow.

Just to confirm...I have a 98 S70 T5 Manual Trans. As I see it...it is way too tight to get to the clutch from above...I plan on jacking up the passenger side and removing the tire (after blocking both the rears and the front.

I will then remove the many screws that apear to hold down the fender liner which I am hoping will then give me access to the clutch. I am goint to try and find some of the bread clips...but can I substitute any other material with the needed thickness? My gap appears to measure out at about .09MM+ and I intend to have it end up in generally the .03-.04mm range?

Also, I assume any tough glue should work? I plan on fitting all three clips and then releasing the plate to test the Gap before glueing. When the gap is OK I will put small amount of glue on the clips and insert them and then release the clutch plate.


Sound OK to you? BTW...would a tin can work for the clips? Cut to size...or is the metal an issue?

Thanks...Tom R...I will post after done.
