CAUTION: Do not use cleaners with petroleum base, and do not immerse the
pressure plate in the solvent.
Inspect surface of pressure plate for burn marks, scores, ridges and warpage. Generally, pressure plate resurfacing is not recommended, but minor burn marks or scores can be removed with a crocus pad. If it is badly heat checked, warped or deeply scored, replace pressure plate and cover assembly. Clean pressure plate and flywheel surfaces with a suitable solvent, such as alcohol, to be sure surfaces are free from any oil film.
