Subject: How do you remove the clutch plate on a 1990 900T 16V engine?


I have to remove the clutch plate assembly from my 1990 900 Turbo 16V engine. Nothing wrong with the clutch; I really want to replace the slave cylinder as the seals have cracked. Problem is, the way the unit is designed, you can't just remove the cylinder. I've undone everything (simple enough to do) but do not have access to the Magic SAAB Tool to compress the fingers in the pressure plate so I can get enough clearance to withdraw the cylinder/thrust bearing/clutch plate assembly. And of course I can't use the slave cylinder to compress it as the rubbers are out to lunch. Any suggestions? By the way, has anyone used the so-called "spacer ring" as outlined in the service manual to lock the fingers? Or as they say, use a length of spark plug wire? Does this work, and how much clearance does it REALLY give you? Looking at the way the clutch fingers are, I reckon I need to push them back at least 10mm in order to clear the locating pins on the flywheel and slide the whole lot out of the car. Any help appreciated and will save me tearing out what's left of my (minimal) hair. -- Alcohol and calculus don't mix.
