How to service and repair the pressure plate on Toyota Tacoma?

Question

Accepted Answer

Service and repair of the pressure plate begins by removing the transmission from the engine then disconnecting the clutch cover and disc by marking it up with matchmarks between the flywheel and clutch cover while loosening each bolt set by one turn at a time until spring tension is reduced. Carefully remove the clutch cover with the attached clutch disc while avoiding dropping the disc. The third step requires the removal of transmission components which include the boot together with the release bearing and fork. Inspect the clutch disc through an evaluation of rivet head depth that should be a minimum of 0.3 mm (0.012 inch) to determine if replacement is needed. Test the runout distance of the clutch disc with a dial indicator for no more than 0.8 mm (0.031 inch) and analyze the flywheel for no greater than 0.1 mm (0.004 inch) runout before making replacements as necessary. Inspect the pilot bearing by turning it by hand; if it sticks or has resistance, replace it by removing the 2 bolts at opposite points, using Special Service Tool: 09303-35011 to remove the pilot bearing, and then using Special Service Tool: 09300-30012 and a hammer to install the new pilot bearing, ensuring it rotates smoothly before installing 2 new bolts with specified torque values: 2RZ-FE Engine: 88 Nm (900 kgf-cm, 65 ft. lbs.), 3RZ-FE Engine: 26.5 Nm (270 kgf-cm, 19 ft. lbs.), and 5VZ-FE Engine: 85 Nm (850 kgf-cm, 63 ft. lbs.). Measuring the diaphragm spring for wear requires assessment of maximum depth at 0.6 mm (0.024 inch) and maximum width at 5.0 mm (0.197 inch), with replacement needed for both specifications. Inspection of the release bearing includes manual rotation; replacement should be performed if necessary. Place the clutch disc and clutch cover on the flywheel with Special Service Tool: 09301-00110. Realign the matchmarks while torquing the clutch cover bolts to 19 Nm (195 kgf-cm, 14 ft. lbs.). Then temporarily fasten the No. 1 and No. 2 bolts. Perform clockwise and counterclockwise movements on the diaphragm spring tip with the aid of a dial indicator. Verify a maximum non-alignment reading below 0.5 mm (0.020 inch) and adjust using Special Service Tool: 09333-00013 if required. The maintenance task includes applying 100 grams of grease part number 08887-01706 NLGI No. 2 molybdenum disulphide lithium base grease to three contact points of the release fork hub and push rod and release fork pivot point. Additionally, clutch spline grease should be applied to the clutch disc spline. Reinstall the transmission to the engine after fitting its boot followed by release bearing and fork installation.
