June 30, 201214 yr comment_612988 GEnts, would it be just fine to put 5 bolts on the pressure plate instead of 6 with the flywheel? I believed that the torque is in the disk going to the shaft and not with it.. Report
June 30, 201214 yr Author comment_612991 the bolt just got broken and stuck into flywheel.. rusty bolt head is the only thing remains with me.. so i need a machine shop right now? Report

June 30, 201214 yr comment_612994 Make sure you get a good set of the bolt extractors, last one I used was a cheap one and it was a nightmare to get it to grip. Once you own them though they come in handy. Report
June 30, 201214 yr comment_613000 not a good idea. Just get a thread extractor, or a set of needle punches and about 4 hours of your time and get it out. The pressure plate bolts are in tension and they're responsible for taking the force applied by the pressure plate to the clutch plate. with one down, you might sacrifice some clamping force (read: clutch slip).
