How do you change clutch Toyota Tercel?

Answer 1

It's not a real hard job but it takes time. I did it in about 5 hours.

- Remove battery

- remove wheels and wheel assemblies

- remove air filter and intake assemblies

- remove backup light switch connector

- remove and mark shifter assemblies

- remove speedometer cable

- remove 24mm plug from transaxel housing and drain fluid

- remove plastic splash guards from font of body-10mm and 12mm wrenches

- remove 30mm axel nuts from both sides

- remove fron ball joint control arm bolts -14mm wrench

- tap transaxels out

- pull transaxels out from transmission

- remoive starter cables -12mm wrench

- remove 3 bolts on thin flywheel cover under car-10mm and 14 mm wrenches

- remove transaxel bracket - 3 17mm bolts

- remove lower transaxel -to-engine mount - 14 mm wrench

go back up top and remove the 12mm bols holding the hydraulic slave cylinder on the front of the transaxel housing

- losen only!!!! the upper transaxel-to-engine mount

- remove the lower transaxel-to-engine mount - 17mm and 14mm bolts

- position a jack under the engine oil pan to support engine

- position a floor jack with wheels under transaxel housing

- remove all bolt securing the transaxel housing

- separate transaxel housing from engine and lower it

- remove clutch cover - 12mm bolts

- remove clutch

- using a centering tool, install new clutch

- re-install clutch cover - torque to 15 ft/lbs

now, put it all back together. I found that the best way to re-attach the tyransaxel housing to the engine was to ust an engine hoist on wheels as I was doing this operation solo. If I'd had help, a motorcycle jack would have done quite nicely or a floorjack on wheels if I'd had two helpers

Have fun..every real man must do at least one clutch replacement in his life.
