You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 6L2Z-7B066-C fits your vehicle.

The bolts should be turned a little at a time in a criss-cross pattern until all spring pressure is relieved, then the pressure plate can be removed.

Inspect the pressure plate's machined surfaces and diaphragm spring fingers. Replace it if damaged and clean all components thoroughly. For self-adjusting pressure plates, pre-adjust them using a hydraulic press or seek professional adjustment if necessary.

Begin by turning off the air suspension system if the vehicle is equipped with one. Then, securely raise the vehicle on jackstands.

To reinstall clutch components, follow these steps: Lubricate and install a new pilot bearing, ensuring the seal end faces the transmission. Clean the flywheel and pressure plate surfaces thoroughly. Adjust the pressure plate before installation. Position the clutch disc and pressure plate against the flywheel using an alignment tool. Tighten the pressure plate-to-flywheel bolts in a criss-cross pattern. Center the clutch disc using the alignment tool. Torque the bolts to specifications and remove the alignment tool.
