So im my buddy mangled my TOB while trying to release it and now im pretty sure its jammed. Any ideas?

I've heard of other people cutting theirs off, how is that done?

Thanks in advance guys!

 

anyone have any ideas

 

I've got a 5' prybar for those hard to seperate parts! You might be able to slide the fork off and just leave it there since you are replacing the clutch anyhow right?

 

My buddy got the fork off the TOB on the access hole side, but its still attached on the other side. Trying to figure out how to get to it.

The transmission is out with the pressure plate still attached. Is it possible to just pry the pressure plate off?

 

You can unbolt the assembly through the access hole is need be

 

Like the clutch assembly or the fork assembly?

 

With the trans out and the pressure plate still attached to the TOB, you should have access to the rear of the TOB nose. You should also see where the wedge collar fingers are holding the TOB in place due to the circlip. You should be able to just expand the gap on the circlip and the TOB should be able to slide right out.

 

if you're still fighting it by tonight then give me a call, we can get it outta there for sure! should be able to slide the fork up to disengauge the clip over the pivot ball.

 

leave it on unbolt the pressure plate thru the whole where the fork goes in and take it off with the trans and all once you do that if its a ***** cut the pressure plate but then you cant reuse it

 

DO THIS! i had the same issue!!!

 

Can someone explain how to do this?

 

I really need some help guys

 

Still working on it

 

Well i thing im just going drill out the bolts holding the twin plate together.

 

I already replied with what to do:

I attached a pic, from the back side of the pressure plate, which should be easy enough to identify since you've got the trans out, you should see the TOB sticking through the wedge collar. You should also see the circlip, which is what makes the TOB click in place and stay there. The circlip has a gap. If you expand the gap, the TOB will come out of the wedge collar easily.
