1. To visually assess the degree of wear of the friction linings of the clutch friction disc, loosen the mounting bolts (5) and remove the heat shield (6).
2. The check is carried out using a special gauge (4), inserted under the plastic washer (2) of the flange of the actuator cylinder (4) and placed on the thrust pin (3). If the disk is in good condition, the marks of the installed gauge are completely hidden (arrow b). If after the gauge is completely seated on the pin, the marks remain open (arrow a), then the wear of the disk has reached the maximum permissible value.
