How do you remove a clutch from a semi truck?
This is the same procedure as removing a clutch from a car or small truck, only much bigger and way heavier.
You must remove the transmission to gain access to the clutch disc, pressure plate, and flywheel. This is accomplished by removing the drive shaft and then removing the transmission with the help of a special jack. Several other parts must usually be removed, such as the starter, gear shift, clutch linkage, throwout bearing, pilot bearing, and universal joints.
Unless you have access to the proper heavy-duty tools required, do not attempt this on your own as the parts are very heavy and it is very easy to get injured in this type of situation.
