How to Reset and Install a LuK Self Adjusting Clutch on an SVT Focus 

I dealt with self adjusting pressure plate for the 1st time this past weekend.... After watching a few videos and with limited tools, i eventually used only the park bench lol... Yes park bench in my yard that had thick wooden seat.... Placed the pressure plate on top with 3 x same size small sockets evenly placed under the outer edge of the cover of the plate.... Centered it in the gap between the seats, long thickish bolt from underneath pressing against the bottom of the seat, old bearing , washer on top with nut and turned the nut with my wrench..... Once i found the sweet spot moved the pin anticlockwise, held it in the reset position opposite the marked colored dots on the cover while releasing pressure... Job done 😊 ...... No need for the flywheel and clutch plate to be present

I like how you added the chapters in this video! Nice touch!

Nice demo! Thanks for sharing that clever nugget of knowledge on how to reset the wear adjust mechanism without special tools.

Can't wait to see the first burnout!

Excellent explanation of how to reset the pressure plate. I've been through several videos and this got it all straight. Thank you!

Love your videos

Hello, thank you very much for the info about the coupling, doweling it to the table is unconventional but so good and simple, great. I'm currently working on a T5, greetings from Germany

Top man. Nice and easy

Dual mass clutch w/0 miles?? What a find! Great vids!

Keep the SVTF videos coming! Love 'em!

Nice video bro

Thank you so much my boss

Keep it up

Super .

Just pulled my 02 focus svt engine out a few weeks ago nothing wrong with it but it had a bad oil leak so ran through it with new gasket’s and seals and about to put it back in and my engine has a pilot bearing 🤔 might want to check on that again!

Would i need to do this on a brand new clutch kit out of the box?

I did reset my springs, installed everything back, started the car, then I removed the gearbox again and the springs went back again just as before

Can i do the conversion dual mass flywheel to single mass flywheel

Engine of my van is d4cb crdi grand starex 2011 model

Oh man I know the feeling all too well, when you have to take a bunch of stuff back apart to install one little thing that was forgotten. Hey it could have been worse. You could have had the engine and transmission bolted into the car and been connecting the wiring when you realized the sensor wasn't in place. That would be a big oof.🤷

You have to use a clutch installation tool to install these. You can't just put them on or they will last approximately 3 months

But at the same time looking at the input shaft it has no collar for the pilot bearing so you should be good 👍

Transmissions and clutches make me nervous 😥😥

Could have used a hydraulic press instead of bolting to table
