All cover bolts replaced with stainless steel bolts and lock washers.
[Except where high strength bolts are needed]
After removing the fly wheel, the bolt would not extract with an 'easy out' so the whole was re-drilled and tapped for the next size up.
Now with the fly wheel lifted up and being bolted in place, another bolt broke off, this time in the crank.
This time, the motor had to be lifted, bell housing removed and bolt extracted, this time with ease.
Once again, off with the pressure plate, and clutch... Pilot bearing now squarely in place!
In order to get the clutch properly lined up, I waited until the transmission was in place before tightening the bolts on the pressure plate. This of course after I put in the clutch fork ball joint and clutch fork.
This plug is nothing more that a flat washer on the bottom side that is maneuvered into place under the shifter retainer pin. A carriage bolt runs through that washer to a washer that sets on the top of the shifter and secured with a nut.
Also to add a bit of protection, a piece of rubber gasket was cut out and used between the top washer and the casing.
