Clutch cap stuck

[rogerzr1]

I was going to add some fluid to the clutch, got the ECM out of the way, but can't budge the cap. I am scared to force it too bad as it looks like I could break the whole thing. Any tips?

Never mind. I went ahead and forced it. It came off ok. Sorry.

Sounds like you did the right thing, "If it jams, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway"; Flugg's Rule ...:cheers:

I was about to do the same thing today. I haven't looked it up, but does it take much to get the ECM out of the way?

no its easy . just take off the 2 10mm bolts spread the plastic holder a little with your fingers. and its loose. hope this helps

Will give it a go. It's just nice to have advice even on the easy stuff when you haven't done it before to keep from going "oh sh*t" after you crack something off. The manual is always so helpful - it goes into the great detail of saying something like "remove ECM." Thanks!

OK. ECM out of the way and yeah...that darn cap is stuck. Does it twist off or just pull up. It is stuck on there hard. Thanks!

Sometimes they take a little bit of force. They are pretty tough.

You have to unscrew the cap. Some times it takes a little extra leverage since it is hard to get a good grip on the cap.

I found that mine was real hard to get off. I thought I was going to break it to take it off.
