Thanks Kevin for this video - certainly it enabled me to replace the clutch on the same model which we have. As an amateur this ended up taking me a total of 24 hours after hitting a good few challenges, but got there in the end.
There are only a few people with such skills and determination, you are one of those. Total respect Sir and hope that you reap the rewards from your hard work - amazing!!
You sir are a legend I just used your video as a guide to change the clutch on my galaxy spot on work one complaint you made it look easyer lol thanks for this video
These videos show you how to change a clutch and the cars to stay away from or get rid if ya have one just incase the clutch might need doing one day, think I would rather do a mini clutch than one of these, my god the amount of work that went in to this respect to you Kevin 👍👍👍👍👍
Why am I fascinated by a man changing clutches ? maybe it is because I cannot do such a thing and respect this chaps hard work... looking forward to the next one sir x
I do them occasionally in the same manner, maybe like once a month over the non-winter months and I can tell you it's freakin hard work. Kevin does it day in day out, that's really tough.
I also did it the same way after watching this a few times and hit plenty of amateur problems 😆 got there in the end though - after 24 hours worth of work 😂
I also bought the Milwaukee ratchet.. this was one of my best decisions ever made! Very nice tool! Milwaukee in generell is always a good choice Cheers ✌️
Very well done and a great video 😊 The only thing I would have done differently is to use an ordinary manual torque wrench on the flywheel- and clutch bolts. My S-max is waiting for the same operation..
he is very professional. it is amazing video. let the people how you pro and did a very good job and teached the people what is the prefect job. excellent kevin . 👍👍
hi Kevin just another day at the office eh!! Looked very fiddly ford didn't make it to easy for the mechanic, but you always win through, great stuff,, keep up the great videos, and respect.
That regards bushes not balljoints and more specifically bushes which are mounted vertically . Tightening balljoints and horizontal bushes does not require suspension load only vertical bushes due to their movement.
great job Kevin, I think when ford put this one together they new only a ford specialist or a high spec garage can do this kind of work but they didn't think about Kevin-Albert Williams did they😁 say no more sorted👍👍
Getting horrible flashbacks to the worst job i've ever attempted on a car, our 07 2.0 S-Max! On our drive as well... took me about 3 days (half a day to work out how to disconnect the gear selectors!) to get the box off and I couldn't get it back on, called in a mobile mechanic instead I was knackered. I took the subframe completely off, didn't realise you could do it with it on! That would have saved some time.
What was this one Kev 2 hours to get to the clutch 10 minutes to change another 2 to put all back together lol .Nice job mate. Thats what put me off alot of jobs back in the day why couldnt they all be like the Vauxhall Astra and cavalier 20 minutes max😁
Enhorabuena. Quería preguntarte, cuando ves que alguna pieza esta mal, ¿le dices al propietario que tiene esa pieza en mal estado? Y si es el caso, ¿tu sueles cambiarla?
Oh wow Kevin you are like a SUPERHERO.. I’am amazed on what you have been doing.. and the impact drill.. could you please tell me Kevin what is the exact name and the brand of that Big and Small impact drill. Please please please.. you take care SUPERHERO 👏👏👏👏
Makes my life in a shop look like a vacation, very nice work! What do you do if you find a large leak, faulty flywheel or slave cylinder or other damaged parts while doing these clutch? Say a broken or very worn out ball joint, CV shaft?
I'm going to do the same job on an S-Max 1.8, 2008 model. I assume it's pretty similar to what you've done? Some recommend taking down the entire subframe, but it looks like I don't need to? I'm also planning to convert to an SMF. I hope there won't be too much vibration. My local Ford workshop said I could do it, and that they have good experiences with it.
new diesels have a very high torque on low rpms and the dmf does take away vibrations that causes. i have put smf in some cars and they gets some vibrations but they last forever.
Hi Kev I thought with all Ford subframes ( Mondeo Galaxy ) etc you have to use the Ford reline pins or else the subframe will be out of line afterwards...
Very true if you’re removing it completely. The trick is to leave one bolt firmly in place. Then it will remain exactly where it came down from when you push it back up..,, you’re with me
Hi. I know this was awhile ago. Very interesting watching and thank you for sharing, I`am just about to do this on my 2007 Galaxy 2.0tdci, i have one question if you don`t mind, I noted that you didn`t use the special clutch plate tool, was this because the clutch pressure plate is brand new out of the box and was it already pre-set ?. Many Thanks.
G'day Kevin I really like watching your videos it's remarkable how you have to on some cars remove so much to be able to get to the clutch, just curious as to how many cars would you work on in one week? Good to see you again stay safe kind regards John PS what was that hose for?
Hey Kevin have you done a clutch on a 2,2 Ford smax diesel ? Im half way through mine and im struggling for clearance for the removal of the DMF, thinking of just doing the clutch, DMF seems to be ok.
Kevin, the clutch pedal on my 2011 SMax sinks to the floor and doesn’t spring back. When the engine is running I can’t get it in gear, when it’s not running it goes into gear. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. It’s a Sunday and nothing is open.
that’s exactly the fault I had on my car and it turned to be the slave cylinder. Followed Kevin’s video to the letter but because my car is a 2,2 the gearbox is a lump compared to the 2,0 and I’ve barely got clearance. A couple of subtle differences. The slave cylinder/release bearing was shot (knackered). Good luck with whatever you decide to do, although I’m sure you’ve already done it.
@@WMCS One more question. LuK or Sachs as spare parts for replacing the clutch and dual mass flywheel? Or maybe Valeo? What is your ranking list based on your experience and practice?
why didn't you change the crankshaft seal? it is not an expensive part and since you changed the clutch it costs nothing to change it to avoid future oil leakage problems, hug
I would never replace a crank seal on its own as that’s bad practice. As it’ll be temporarily masking the issue., and deceiving the customer. If that seal leaks., equals = movement in the crank. Replace main and big end bearings. Then replace the seal = Job done correctly. Otherwise it shouldn’t leak. It’s constantly coated in oil so it shouldn’t go wrong. Simply = you wouldn’t have blisters if you’re wearing the correct size shoes.
He never has to bleed the system, And where's all the rounded off seized bolts that I always get ? And the wrong parts ? Some slick editing right there👍
@@WMCS fair enough mate , i didn't sit though it all . its my day job also . I would be concerned about the wear and tear on your body , at 43 and after 24+ years I'm feeling it and most my career has been inside garages . the wear to your spine ,neck, elbows and knees might catch up to you one day . Is it not time for a premises ?
I've got this to do, as well as afew other Jobs that need doing like rusting rear quarters on my 64 plate Smax unforgiveable really at such a young age. I've bought a 13plate Mondeo Estate to tie me over whilst im doing the work on the Smax and now my heart really isn't in it as I much prefer the Mondeo to drive.
Respect and few things, how you handle tools, are you army trained? How many hours in average one cars clutch takes to replace? My sef have repair hydraulic hoses in winter nights in forest,
Kev respect to doing the UA-cam stuff , wished I'd got a camera lol the shit is the same day in day out lol last week all synchros Iveco Daily 64 plate today engine swap 66 plate fiesta . Tbh I hate Ford's but I'm mobile and work on folks drives , get the shit no one else wants ! I'd sooner work on plant and HGV's and used to convert trucks to LHD for 15 years for export
That was some unmerciful strike on the steering knuckle for the ball joint, usually takes my 8 or 9 whacks of a hammer and even then I get an ouchie 😂😂
You want to get yourself your own number plate which has your business name on there, when filming stick out over the customer's number plate to disguise it.
@@WMCS you're not registering it to put on a car or your van, it'll just be for sticking on top of customers number plate whilst you film right. So you just need a plate made up for whatever you want it to read. Example online plates website www.ukshowplates.com/

Basically a step by step guide to fitting a clutch to your S-Max I did it that same way and it went in without any problems
I also did it the same way after watching this a few times and hit plenty of amateur problems 😆 got there in the end though - after 24 hours worth of work 😂

All you need to do is use the clutch alignment tool. And be sure to tighten the bolts down in a figure 8 in increments of about 4 turns at a time.

Great job. How Long you need in real for the Work ??
what happens when you need to program. relearn. purge.some carts is needed?
Hi . The construction is a same in ford galaxy?
36:17 where is that oil leak coming from? I have it on mine and seen it more or less on every 2.0.
I think from high pressure injector pump gasket
Just curious.......why do you start the Milwaukee ratchet, before putting it on the bolt?.........does that not sometime round the bolt head........
It breaks the seal a lot better than cracking it with the head already spinning.
Don’t drive the tool half committed otherwise it will slip.
@@WMCS thank you sir......
