Clutch Assembly and Disassembly
Disassembly
Refer to Figure 4-3:
See “IMPORTANT NOTE” above before disassembling
clutch. After measuring and recording each spring
length, remove spring retainer nuts (#1), springs (#2) and
bolts (#3). Each friction disc (#4) must then be separated
from the metal surface adjacent to it. Refer to the Parts
Manual for a detailed parts breakdown.
Inspection
Inspect all parts for excessive wear and condition. Clean
all parts that do not require replacement.The original
friction disc thickness is 1/8" (3.2mm) and should be
replaced if thickness falls below 3/64" (1.1mm). If
clutches have been slipped to the point of “smoking”, the
friction discs may be damaged and should be replaced.
Heat build-up may also affect the yoke joints.
Assembly
Refer to Figure 4-4:
Reassemble each friction disc (#4) next to the metal
plate it was separated from. Install bolts (#3) through end
plates and intermediate plates as shown. Place springs
(#2) over bolts (#3) and secure with nuts (#1).
Refer to Figure 4-4:
Progressively tighten each spring retainer bolt until
correct spring height “A” dimension is obtained.
