11 Engine overhaul - the clutch

To disassemble the flywheel, you will need to loosen the gland nut, we discuss that in video 12. But first you will need to disassemble the clutch. You can do that when the engine is on the workbench, or hanging from an engine mount. For this video we use our AB 1300 engine, which still has its original clutch dating back to the early 1970s. In this video we show various techniques and tools to disassemble the clutch of your Type 1 Volkswagen engine without damage, and reassemble it correctly.
