iconic558 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) I wanted to remove two clutch springs from my basket but ran into an issue. My basket won't come off. We ended up with a two legged puller and the basket is coming off bloody tight but it's moving. We then run out of movement on the puller as the end of the puller threaded shaft is butting up against the clutch pack it's self. I thought these were just a pull off by hand job?

iconic558 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) It's all back together again, never did get the basket off, but had a thought that I could of placed a suitably bolt between the end of the gearbox input shaft and the end of the puller. Changed my clutch thrust bearing (pusher) though for a brass one. The one that came out was steel and the end groove was just about missing and around 2/3mm shorter, so not a wasted few hours.

iconic558 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Ohh.....and the flywheel weight and nut both had a hole for lockwire....I used threadlock when it went back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconic558 Posted May 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Doh! I think the clutch plates come out out of the driven basket as a package....so no need to pull the whole assembly off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke4stroke Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 I did wonder why you were stripping the whole thing just to remove two springs........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconic558 Posted May 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 I just couldn't make sense of the clutch mechanism then it dropped into place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
