Do i need any special tools for fitting a new clutch

You need some very specialized tools to do that You'll need a jack to hold the transfer case once you remove all the bolts holding it to the transmission. Remove the drive shafts.Then you'll need to remove the transmission, again with a supporting jack. Once that has been accomplished , remove the bolts holding the clutch to the flywheel. I'd replace the pilot bearing in the flywheel that holds the input shaft to the gearbox before proceeding. There are special tools available to do that. Now assemble the clutch disk and the clutch plate and put the bolts back in without tightening them. Now take the clutch alignment tool and push it thru the clutch disk and into the new pilot bearing. position it so the clutch disk is dead center in the clutch plate and then finish tightening the bolts Put a new throw out bearing on the clutch release lever and reinstall the transmission and transfer case. Reinstall the drive shafts and replace any gear oil that may have spilled out of the transmission or transfer case. Adjust the clutch pedal clearance to spec and you're done.

1. Remove the A/C compressor (19703). For additional information, refer to Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor - 3.8L or Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor - 4.6L in this section.

1. Remove the bolt.
   1. Hold the A/C disc and hub assembly (19D786) with the special tool.
   1. Remove the bolt.

1. Remove the A/C disc and hub assembly and the A/C clutch hub spacer (19D648).
   1. Thread an 8 x 1.25 mm bolt into the A/C clutch to force it from the compressor shaft.
   1. Lift the A/C disc and hub assembly and the A/C clutch hub spacer from the compressor shaft.

1. Remove the pulley snap ring.

1. Remove the A/C clutch pulley (2E884).

1. CAUTION: Do not use air tools. The A/C clutch field coil (19D798) can be easily damaged.
   Remove the A/C clutch field coil.
   1. Note the location of the A/C clutch field coil electrical connector.
   1. Install the special tool on the nose opening of the A/C compressor.
   1. Install the special tool.
   1. Remove the A/C clutch field coil.

Installation

1. NOTE: If installing a new A/C compressor, the A/C clutch components should be reused unless obvious signs of damage are found. If excessive grooving is found, a new A/C clutch disc and hub and A/C compressor pulley must be installed together. Otherwise, each component can be installed individually where needed.
   Visually inspect the A/C clutch disc and hub, A/C compressor pulley and A/C clutch field coil for damage.
   • Inspect for physical damage, including cracked or melted components or discoloration due to excessive heat.
   • Inspect for excessive wear, including grooving in the A/C clutch disc and hub or A/C compressor pulley that is more than fingernail depth.
   • Inspect for roughness in the A/C compressor pulley bearing.

1. Clean the A/C disc and field coil and pulley mounting surfaces.

1. CAUTION: Do not use air tools. The A/C clutch field coil can be easily damaged.
   Install the A/C clutch field coil.
   1. Place the A/C clutch field coil on the A/C compressor with the A/C clutch field coil electrical connector correctly positioned.
   1. Using the special tools, install the A/C field coil.

1. NOTE: The A/C clutch pulley is a tight fit on the A/C compressor head. It must be correctly aligned during installation.
   Install the A/C clutch pulley.

1. Install the pulley snap ring with the bevel side out.

1. Place one nominal thickness A/C clutch hub spacer inside the clutch hub spline opening.

1. Install the A/C clutch.

1. Using the special tool, install the A/C disc and hub assembly retaining bolt.

1. Measure and adjust the clutch air gap by removing or adding A/C clutch hub spacers.

1. Install the A/C compressor. For additional information, refer to Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor - 3.8L or Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor - 4.6L in this section.

hope this helps

depends on if it has a clutch fan or electric... if its electric the no you dont need any special tools but if its a clutch fan then you need a clutch fan removal tool

You unbolt the bolt holding it on, and use one special tool to pull the clutch, and two special tools to put the new one on. The tools are dedlcated for this job, and generic pullers will not work.

to change this bearing requires special mechanics tools. This job can quickly become a real pain if the bearing has been staked on. What level is your mechanical expertise? With all due respect if you do not have pullers and access to presses I would not try this project. At the minimum you will need snap ring pliars, a new bearing, a serpentine belt removal tool, a special puller and a press.
First remove the serpentine belt. In the center of the compressor pulley there may be a nut that needs removed, remove it. thread in the special pulley clutch removal tool as far as possible with the center bolt of the puller all the way out. With the tool threaded on tighten the center bolt on the tool until the pulley clutch comes off. this works best if you use an impact. now you should see the snap ring on the center hub. remove it. The hub with bearing should now slide off. If it doesnt you will have to use another special puller. Once you get that off you will have to have the bearing pressed out. Likely the outside race will be staked on. it helps if you can grind those off. A machine lathe works wonders for that job. Once the bearing is off put the new one on with the help of a press and a little locktite. You do not need to restake it as long as it fits plenty tight. the rest of the installation is pretty much the reverse of removal. The pulley clutch will need to be pulled on tight with a special tool with special attention given to the gap. You dont want it to touch but you want the clutch faces as close together as possible. good luck.

install new clutch, new clutch master cylinder bleed real well all new parts and still unable to put in gear clutch peddel real soft no pressure at all. what i'm I doing wrong?

hey i own a evolution III and believe me its very hard to change a clutch and there's a lot involved in doing it. as far as i know there's no tools needed to do it except a good set of sockets spanners and maybe a few ratchet spanners. last time i did a clutch on my evo it took 7 hours on my own

You could try bleeding the slave cylinder. But it is very difficult and may or may not work. You may want to take it to an independent shop or back to the dealer. A special tool is needed inorder to depress the slave cylinder to properly bleed the possible air out of the system. It's a less expensive thing to try before replacing the clutch assy.

well if i remember correctly that fan clutch is reverse threads so in other words to loosen it you'll have to turn your wrench clockwise. they do this cuz the rotation of the fan will tighten itself onto the water pump. anyway what i do is leave the serpentine belt on the the pulleys and that will kinda hold them steady whilst you put the "special" wrench on the clutch and pop it loose you'll prolly need a cheater bar to make things easier but not too much or you'll overcome the traction of the belt and it will just slip.
