How to remove and inspect the Pressure Plate and Clutch Disc on Nissan Maxima?

To get at the clutch components, it is normal to eliminate the transaxle while the engine remains installed in the car. When the engine is being replaced due to major overhaul, it is also important check the clutch for tear and replace any of the following as the cost of clutch parts are relatively cheaper than the time it would take to replace them especially when they are located in deep parts of the vehicle. When the engine is left in place it is necessary to pull the transaxle which in turn requires that the engine be properly supported either by jack or an engine lift or support frame. If using a jack place a piece of wood between the jack and oil pan since the pickup for the oil pump is almost near the bottom of the oil pan. The release fork and bearing can be left connected to this transaxle but they must be checked at the time of removal. Thus, a clutch alignment tool should be installed through the disc hub in order to support the clutch disc. When ordering the replacement parts, the flywheel and pressure plate should have indexing marks, and if they don't you need to make your own so they will be placed back in the same position. Nuts on pressure plate to flywheel bolts must be loosened in a criss-cross fashion to release all spring pressure then remove the bolt, pressure plate both the clutch disc and the pilot bearing can be stuck on to a slide hammer. It is also recommended to inspect the fly wheel for crack and any signs of damages; in that case, it can be machined. The clutch disc lining must be of at least 1/16-inch above the rivet heads, and if there are signs of wearing out then it has to be changed. It is also recommended that the release bearing should be changed together with the clutch disc. With a probe, feel for any wear and tear of the pressure plate, if any, remove and replace it. When installing the clutch disc and pressure plate, with the help of an alignment tool turn the things into the right place and use bolts to fasten the pressure plate while also tightening the bolts in a criss-cross manner. Once the bolts are properly tightened, again, measure the torque on them and then remove the alignment tool. Grease the release bearing and put it back to its place, the transaxle together with all other components that were removed should be reinstalled, and all the bolts tightened to correct torque.
