I was feeling a bit better today so I started installing the clutch on the Ecotec. Here's what I got done today:
First I removed the flex plate and cleaned the attachment area after I tapped in the pilot bearing which I had frozen ahead of time. The 'fridge in the shop comes in handy! My 9/16" deep Snap On 3/8 drive socket was exactly right as a driver for the pilot.
And then the flywheel with APR bolts. It turns out that the flywheel bolts do not show up in the ARP catalog but are shared with a Toyota application, ARP PN 203-2802. ARP calls for 70 lb-ft of torque in the Toyota application so I went with that,
If any of you have better Google-Fu than I was able to muster maybe you can find out the size for the pressure plate bolts. They seem to be 7mm but no clue if that's right or not, nor any idea of the length. I found a Delco PN but they were pricey, no size was given, and they only had 5 which is useless (6 required). Anybody willing to take on the challenge?
