Removal
1. Remove the clutch as described in Section 6, or automatic transmission as described in Part F of this Section, depending on the model.
2. Mark the position of the flywheel/drive plate relative to the crankshaft.
3. The flywheel/drive plate must be locked in order to loosen the mounting bolts. To do this, screw a long bolt into one of the transmission mounting holes and insert a wide screwdriver or a piece of metal rod into the ring gear.
4. Loosen the mounting bolts and remove the flywheel/drive plate from the crankshaft. Purchase new bolts for installation.
Inspection
5. Inspect the flywheel/drive disc ring gear. If the ring gear is worn or damaged, it can be replaced, but it is best to leave this work to a Renault dealer or auto repair shop.

8. Apply a few drops of locking compound to the threads of the new bolts. Insert and tighten the bolts in a diagonal sequence to the specified tightening torque Specifications.
9. Install the clutch as described in Section 6, or automatic transmission as described in Part F of this Section.
