Mr Ben I thank you for your help This video is very accurate my bmw is no longer on jack stands Because I did exactly what you did thanks again

Thanks for this! Months have gone by thinking it was hydraulics. It was this. Clutch was hard as hell to press and never disengaged. My new pressure plate apparently went into another bmw at the mechanic shop..and his old one went in mine...and they did not know to reset the adjuster. Yow. Thanks again.

Top-Tip - If you use bolts instead of nuts you can pop the bolt through the hole using the bolt-head as "the nut" instead of having to faff about trying to keep nuts in place. :-) Same way, just saves some faff.

Super explications

That is a cool trick. I literally just installed a new LuK SAC on a 03' Saturn Ion today. I was not familiar with the SACs and everything I read said you needed some $2000 machine to remove or reset it. In my case probably best I went with new as the pressure plate friction surface was wrapped pretty bad but good to know this can be done with out a special tool or an arbor press.

Thank you so much it's amazing because I have the same problem but now I got the idea from you thank you agan

Thanks from France :)

Thanks man, you're a life saver

Est ce qu'il faut comprimer les ressort du mécanisme même si on monte un kit neuf ? ou bien dans le kit neuf c'est déjà armé ?

if you could help me! why the diaphragm of the luk sac clutch mechanism (automatic adjustment) remains blocked and does not go up. I used the cross tool to mount it. what is the mistake the mechanic made?

Hi, great video thanks, I don’t have a steel work bench but perhaps I could use a flywheel as my flat surface and mount it on a workmate bench to achieve a the same result, what do you think, Kind regards, Chris.

Thanks from germany 👍

Excellent. Very good.

I didn’t do this and my will not go into gear so might aswell do it if your using the old clutch but I just bought stage 4 from eBay sacs clutch but one ebays for the price

thanks

Good video. 👍

good video. cheers!

Do you need ro reset it every time you place a used clutch ?

exelente video mu bien espicado

What would happen if you installed a new clutch plate on a fully adjusted pressure plate

Hey after you reset it you just bolt it up and it's good to go or do you have to release it after you tighten pressure plate

What would have been the symptoms had you not done this?

Super🇵🇱

what if you dont reset them?

I am crying foul. I have this clutch plate. I Even have the OEM locking ring which I have utilized also. But after studying these videos where you and others have attempted to reset this self adjusting clutch plate... This actually doesn't really reset this pressure plate back to the factory new state! If you look at a virgin new plate you will notice the three spring loaded PINS on the outer perimeter are standing up. or in New Position! But on a released or even attempted Reset p.plate as in your video those pins are still fully bottomed out! Not Retracted or reset! Those PINS are hard attached to the p.plate friction surface portion of the plate. ie.. if the friction surface moves in or out the pins move in or out... You can visually compare yourself but you have not really reset the plate. There is something else besides the plastic spring loaded ring that is NOT being moved back to "NEW" Position! Albet nobody has mentioned or noticed this. But as I said if you go look at all images of a new set and notice the PINS you will see that they are fully retracted when new and Not after any of the Reset methods on KZfaq etc... Just FYI because I tried this also and its is not... Just to be perfectly clear when I say PINS I am not talking about the slotted spring loaded plastic slides you are moving back with a screwdriver or what ever... The PINS i am refering to are on the very outer edge / bolt flange area of the p.plate.
