Flat side towards pressure plate: Getting conflicting info. Zoom Tech Support says flat side towards flywheel but pics I see on internet show the opposite. Example of internet pic: Thanks.

We had the disc in the other way and the springs on the disc would catch on the flywheel bolts and it wouldn't release. Had to take it back out and flip it over.

Flat side to flywheel so I don't sheer the bolts, don't rely on the internet, and the guy who mounted that orange clutch is basically screwed. Got it. Thanks, guys.
