Can a disc really be installed backwards?I've heard people talking about this lately.The springs usually hit the flywheel.I've never tried actually installing the disc backwards and putting the bolts in the pressure plate-are the bolts long enough?
On your 2nd pic the disc is backwards-try putting the disc against the flywheel and now rotate the disc you should feel the springs contacting the flywheel-now flip it over and you will feel the disc material touching the flywheel.
