Great work. It's way easier for me to just watch it being done rather than the usual distracting talk (at least on big jobs like this), so this inspires me to proceed with my Abarth's 190k km clutch replacement. My only suggestion for future videos would be to flash the tool sizes on the screen at each stage. But I'll probably want to look up torque specs, anyway. Thanks again!

[@OONNONON]

Where do you look for those torque specs please?

Great job. Thank you.

Nice job. To renew the slave cylinder you need to detach the quick release fitting …!but everyone says the two halves corrode together and the plastic release ring gets cracked. Sure enough, mine is the same. Any tips to get the joint apart?

Thank you verry nice to watch. For my Fiat 500 it´s don 👍👍👍💯

Yes that's no Abarth or you'd know about it....The front would have to be removed to get the front two subframe arms out of it as there' an awkward bolts holding lower suspension arms in at the front bolts from subframe to remove to do the lower suspension wishbone bushes if they are perished and it would be a good time to remove and renew them to save any more stripdown for MOT later down the line....Thank goodness i'm retired from having to wreck myself and damage the old knees with 40 years of cars ,cars and more bloody cars and buying four poster ramps and tools for every car make ...never ending labour till jobs were complete and right !

[@sanumotorswithcharlie]

It sounds like you have a wealth of experience working with cars, especially with the intricate details of repairs and maintenance. It's impressive how much knowledge and skill you've accumulated over the years. And it's understandable that after four decades of hard work in the automotive world, retirement might feel like a well-deserved break for your knees and yourself. Reflecting on those memories must be quite nostalgic. If you ever feel like reminiscing or need advice, feel free to share-I'm here to chat!

[@HellenKillerProject]

I have a 2015 Fiat. It is insane to get the clutch/brake out to fix the pedal. So far I see portions of the process after it is removed, nothing of pulling the assembly or reinstalling it.

[@sanumotorswithcharlie]

If you need to doing the clutch , this is the video. No need any tools to remove/ pulling any assembly Thanks

Hi there, I have just done this job on my fiat (1.4 USA) model, and I put everything back together and the car will not start. I know the battery and starter are good I had them tested. It sounds like something is holding the flywheel super tight so that the starter cannot crank over if that makes sense. Any suggestions?

[@paulpichler]

You have to relearn the shift robot to to the new clutch. Otherwise the transmission will still think the clutch is worn out and and the new clutch will get worn out very quickly again.

[@user-tx2ut8vp6n]

what is in the oil can you sprayed with? solvent? or brake cleaner?

[@sanumotorswithcharlie]

its brake cleaner

The tool to center the clutch does it come with the kit or it needs to be purchased separately? Also noticed you didn't replace the flywheel, I'm wondering ?. I appreciate the video, great job well done!

[@raftonpounder6696]

No need to replace the flywheel unless it’s damaged.

[@gar6446]

For a car that's sold to learners, first cars and other less than competent drivers its ridiculous that a clutch change entails so much labour. The fiat 500 has other pitfalls to, like the power steering for example. It makes perfectly usable older examples throw away items because of what should be ordinary repairs.

[@sanumotorswithcharlie]

We're aware that issues like the clutch and power steering can be particularly tricky.

Changing the clutch on a Fiat 500, especially an Abarth 500, can be a complex task. Here's a general guide to help you understand the process. It's recommended to have a good understanding of automotive repair before attempting this. ### Tools and Equipment Needed: - Jack and jack stands - Wheel chocks - Wrenches and socket set - Screwdrivers - Torque wrench - Clutch alignment tool - Replacement clutch kit (clutch disc, pressure plate, release bearing) - Transmission fluid - Pry bar - Penetrating oil ### Step-by-Step Guide: 1. **Preparation and Safety:** - Park the car on a level surface and engage the parking brake. - Use wheel chocks to prevent the car from rolling. - Disconnect the battery to ensure safety. 2. **Raise the Vehicle:** - Use a jack to lift the front of the car and secure it on jack stands. - Remove the front wheels for better access. 3. **Remove the Transmission:** - Drain the transmission fluid. - Disconnect any electrical connections, cables, and hoses attached to the transmission. - Remove the starter motor. - Support the engine with a jack or an engine hoist. - Unbolt and remove the transmission from the engine. This typically involves removing several bolts around the bell housing and any mounts securing the transmission. 4. **Remove the Old Clutch:** - Once the transmission is out of the way, you'll see the clutch assembly attached to the flywheel. - Remove the bolts securing the pressure plate to the flywheel, then take off the pressure plate and clutch disc. 5. **Inspect and Resurface the Flywheel:** - Inspect the flywheel for any damage or wear. If necessary, have it resurfaced or replaced. 6. **Install the New Clutch:** - Use the clutch alignment tool to position the new clutch disc against the flywheel. - Place the new pressure plate over the clutch disc and secure it with bolts. Tighten the bolts in a star pattern to ensure even pressure. 7. **Reinstall the Transmission:** - Carefully align the transmission with the engine and slide it into place. Ensure the input shaft properly engages the clutch disc. - Bolt the transmission to the engine and reattach any mounts, cables, and electrical connections. - Reinstall the starter motor. 8. **Refill Transmission Fluid:** - Refill the transmission with the appropriate type and amount of fluid. 9. **Lower the Vehicle:** - Reattach the front wheels. - Lower the car off the jack stands. 10. **Test the Clutch:** - Reconnect the battery. - Start the car and test the clutch to ensure it engages and disengages smoothly. ### Notes: - This is a simplified guide and actual steps may vary based on the specific model and year of your Fiat 500. - If you're not confident in performing this repair, it might be best to seek assistance from a professional mechanic. - The cost of parts will vary, but doing the labor yourself can save a significant amount compared to the $2500 quoted by the shop. Remember to always follow the specific instructions in the service manual for your Fiat 500 or Abarth 500, as there may be variations in the procedure.
