2. At the same time as replacing the driven disk, it is recommended to also replace the release bearing.
3. If the clutch basket requires replacement, it is necessary to purchase a new basket assembly, since its parts must be precisely balanced relative to each other.
4. Inspect the driven disc friction linings for wear or missing rivets, and the driven disc itself for rim deformation, cracks, broken hub springs, and worn splines. The friction linings may become very shiny, but as long as the texture of the friction material is visible, this should not be a cause for concern. Assess the degree of wear of the linings by comparing your disc with a new one, and replace the disc if necessary.
5. We recommend replacing the driven disc assembly, but if you want to replace only the friction linings, you should drill out the rivets (under no circumstances should you knock them out with a punch). The manufacturer does not recommend replacing the pads individually.

6. Inspect the ground surfaces of the flywheel and pressure plate. If they have grooves and nicks, they should be re-ground or the defective parts should be replaced.
7. If the pressure plate has cracks or splits, it must be replaced. The same is true for the case of a weakened diaphragm spring.
8. Check the operation of the release bearing. It should rotate without jamming and have no play. The release bearing is sealed and does not require lubrication.
Note: Dust generated when working with the clutch may contain asbestos, which is a carcinogen. It is recommended to pre-clean the clutch parts with a vacuum cleaner.
9. An oily driven disk must be replaced. Clean off any traces of oil from the flywheel and pressure plate and find and fix the source of the leak before assembling the clutch (in the engine or gearbox).
