Hi All, First off Happy Holidays!!
Well its time for the Cougar to get a new clutch due to a Slave cylinder failure. I plan on changing the Pressure Plate,rear main seal, Clutch disc, Throw bearing, and of course the Slave cylinder. Now I have went over most of the posts hear regarding the change, For the most part it all seems pretty strait forward time consuming for sure, but strait forward. Now the only thing I am not 100% sure on is the Pilot bearing.I have read the tips and advise on this but its still not all that clear. I guess once i have the tranny down I will see what everyone is talking about, but I would like to see a pic or two of this. Any advise anyone has I would love to hear it!. I am a pretty good wrench but I have never done a clutch on these cars, My 5.0 L Mustang was easy but I don't think the SC/XR-7 are as strait forward.
Many thanks and I will be doing a well documented DIY with pics for the next guy!
