Quick clutch spring question loop frame

(1/3) > >>

2slow:
This might be a dumb question but on a 72 Ambassador with the motor in the frame how do you keep the clutch springs in place while your putting the pressure plate on any tips would be appreciated thanks

ray bear:
Dont the springs  press on to a raised section in the bottom of the spring recess  in the flywheel, you may have to rotate the spring till it catches ,  maybe a dab of silicone on the end of the spring and hold it in place till cures. most important that they line up and locate correctly at the other end

normzone:
Hi [2Slow], and welcome.

An expert will be along momentarily to give you the correct answer, but if it was forty years ago I would have thought:

A dab of grease? Grease and clutch plates generally bad combination, but if you used the bare minimum ...

A bit of newspaper? It's going to get broken down for sure.

Edit: I like dab of silicone ...

Rolf Halvorsen:
A drop of super glue on the end of the springs will hold them in the straight position. Rolf

TOMB:
Silicon them to the pressure plate while laying flat let the assembly cure over night then reassemble.

The springs will stay straight  .
