removing clutch fork pin

[Evo Eta]

hey guys im near the end of pulling my old twin turb motor out nd near putting my wrx sti one in but am stuck, how do i remove te clutch fork pin? any got any pics on how to do it or anything? mate tried describn it bt he made no sense haha

[Evo Eta]

actually do i have to pull out the clutch fork pin just to pull out the engine? ive got all the bolts round the tans undone nd the starter motor off nd stuff

dont pull the pin out. get a long flat blade screw driver and unclip the release brng from the clutch pressure plate.

you feed the screwdriver down by the fork and with a torch you will see a round thin metal plate. push it in towards the motor and it will release and you can then pull the fork back.

Yup you do, remove the starter, then a 10mm Allen key to undo the bung on the side of the box.. The get an m bolt and wind it a little way into the clutch pin.. The use that to leaver the clutch pin out, clutch fork will then come away from clutch and bearing.

+1 especially on boxes that havent been apart before or for a long time....iv had allen keys with bars on the end and still couldnt get the fork to budge haha.

sweet so all i do is take the bung out from the side then grab a long flat blade nd push the release bearing towards the engine?

[nt_a_foz]

no youve got the 2 methods confused haha....

Either

Take the rubber bung/cap off the top of the box and put a flat blade down and push the release bearing towards the engine which will disengage the fork

OR

Take the cap off the side with a allen key then get a m10 bolt and screw it into the end of the clutch fork and pry it out with something

woops my bad lol sweet think i might try the first method so were is the bung on the top?

sorry lost when it comes to transmissions nd ne thing to do with them haha im beta with the engine it self lol

Thats more of a "boot" than a "bung" (just to help ensure less confusion)

[Evo Eta]

yup found it thanks guys nd yea i was looking for a bung but then i thought u must of ment boot, um i pushed the release bearing forward but kept coming back so do i just push it forward when i am pulling the engine out?

hmm its not the easiest thing to visualise for a beginner..

prying back the retainer is easier if you know what your looking at. i reckon removing the clutch fork pin will be easier to understand first time around. he can see how the retainer works after its apart

yeah now that i think about it... haha.

also the bolt is an m6 that is needed to pull the pin out not m10.

pull the pin out then the fork, too much risk of damaging the thrust bearing, pressure plate etc, if ya dont know what ya trying to do with the "screwdriver" method.
