Hey 914World. I am rebuilding a 73 1.7 engine and started taking the motor apart. I have come to the flywheel and pressure plate (I think). I have the 6 bolts out from the plate to the flywheel. Now what? It looks like I should have a spline tool of some sort to remove it? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance, Clow   |

The pressure plate should just pull away from the flywheel. You might need to use a rubber mallet or a pry bar to separate the two.
A spline tool is only used when installing the clutch disc and pressure plate. |

Walk around it with a small pry bar, it'll pop right off. |
