Start again or not?

When you're awake at night worrying, reflect on the fact that many thousands of these things will have been bedded on Sikaflex and we don't hear stories of them disintegrating.

Presumably you don't have faith in installers actually reading the instructions - I could not be any clearer!

I reckon a lot of threads in these forums demonstrate that instructions are usually only consulted after the event!

Butyl rubber tape?

Yes, Butyl tape. Stubborn sticky gue, but works brilliantly. Sickly flex is expensive overkill for a lot of applications it gets used for.

Perhaps the damage has already been done. The solvent or whatever causes the trouble might have been absorbed into the plastic that the clutch is made of before the sealant cured. Removing it and refitting with a different sealant may not prevent it slowly continuing to degrade in the same way.

Sleep well !

Oh that was so helpful

But it is still not suitable for this application where the manufacturer recommends a specific sealant.
