bush that comes with valeo clutch

[hipwell]

My valeo clutch kit just arrived from Maynard.

Question is it came with a bush that looks to press into the flywheel. It pictures a tool and a rubber hammer to nock it in.

Is the tool in the picture the blue plastic shaft that came in the box or is that only to help align the disk?

 

[Dan@SJM]

The tool is just to centralise the friction plate

What's the best tool to tap the bush into the flywheel with ?

Or just rip out the old one and gently tap the new one into the flywheel with a rubber hammer?

 

[Dan@SJM]

There's one already fitted? Leave it in there

As Dan said.

Means your car's not on the original clutch also.

Tbh, I don't bother fitting the centraliser. Just centre it by eye with the tool or a 6" 1/2" extension.

No idea, I haven't got the box off yet Lol!

Ah I see what your saying, so its just to help with centralising the plate and there probably won't already be one there because I'm on the original.

 

[Budgie]

Yep. If you're not at that stage yet, tapping the bush in is the least of your worries.

Any old hammer will do tbh.
