It shows actual disassembly and reassembly: pulling the flywheel with a homemade slide hammer, comparing old vs. new clutch pads and pressure plates, seal replacement, torque specs (72-79 ft-lbs on flywheel bolts, 243 in-lbs on clutch bolts), and inspecting the ring gear. Best for owners doing their own clutch job.
An owner-operator documenting his own DIY repair on his Kubota, not a dealer or professional mechanic, working through the job step by step including trial and error.
Remove six 17mm bolts, then use a slide hammer tool bolted to the flywheel with two holes drilled through it to bang it off, since it can be frozen on.
The torque setting is supposed to be 72 to 79 foot-pounds, checked using an impact gun's automatic torque setting.
The six clutch bolts need about 20 point something, which is 243 inch-pounds, with Loctite applied before installing.
Compare the tabs on old versus new pressure plates; worn ones look flatter while new ones have more concavity, explaining disengagement problems.
