I tried to install my os giken twin plate clutch 2nite and had a really hard time getting the pressure plate on.

Has anyone installed it? Can you give me some tips on how to put the thing on?

the bolts on the pressure plates just wont thread correctly. i already stripped some of the bolts trying to get them on.

any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

make sure that you have the disks in correctly, the hubs are taller on one side than the other, they should face awy from each other. You should have no trouble lining it up and bolting it down, make sure the idler plate isn't jamming in the cage crooked and definately use a cltch alignment tool
