Jack stand
Jack
1 set of shock keys
Torque wrench
Flathead and Phillips screwdriver
1 set of ring keys
Ratchet

2. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable

The second step is to disconnect the negative cable from the car battery to ensure safety while replacing the brake pads.

3. Jack up the car

The third step is to install the jack and jack stand when lifting the car. Don't forget to place a block on top of the jack stand to prevent the car engine from falling when removing the transmission case.

4. Remove the clutch pad components

The next step is to start the process of removing the clutch pad components. The detailed steps are as follows.

Use pliers to remove the olor (clutch) part of the transmission. Next, remove the return spring of the lever fork using a flathead screwdriver to detach the olor connector.
Remove the socket part on the transmission leg.
Remove the starter motor by unscrewing the two bolts attached to that component with a 14 mm ring key.
Use that ring key to remove the propeller shaft from the transmission case.
Then drain the oil completely.
Then place the detached transmission case into the washing basin.
After that, remove the clutch housing.

5. The process of replacing and installing the clutch

After you have removed the old clutch pads, you can proceed to the process of replacing them with new clutch pads. The steps are as follows.

Lubricate the transmission shaft and release bearing with grease before installing the clutch pads.
Make sure the convex part of the clutch pad (flywheel) faces the clutch cover.
Then install the clutch pads and housing on the force wheel. Use a lubricant rod during installation to facilitate the process of installing the transmission shaft later on.
Next, perform the installation sequentially starting from the transmission case to the installation of the starter motor.
After everything is installed, lower the car and conduct a test. Usually, a proper installation can make the car accelerate faster, and the transmission shifts smoothly.

For those of you who are still confused, you can easily and quickly replace the clutch pads by asking for help from an official Daihatsu workshop.
