Hey Tom,

I might try your idea. I just pulled my 389 and am getting ready to put in a 455 this spring. I was thinking about changing the clutch because the pressure plate is pretty glazed as is the disc. The problem that I have with changing it is that there is a ton of material left on the disc and it seems like a waste. I would assume that when you glass bead the disk, it is done at low pressure to just remove the shiney surface so that you don't remove any disc material. Do you do anything to the pressure plate or the flywheel at that time? Also, how do you get all of the glass bead out of the disc when you bead blast it?
