I wonder if someone could tell me how to get the little clutch operating pinion off the clutch lever, I know its threaded onto it and I've had a go at trying to get it off but it wont shift. Is there a trick to it or maybe its a left hand thread?

The clutch lever is the one that sits behind the kickstart sort of vertical in the right hand case (timing side) its a very sloppy fit as there seems to be no bushing in the worn alloy case , any suggestions on how to correct the sloppy fit?

any advice greatfully accepted.

Just had a look in Rupert Ratio but cant see anything specific.

Trying to work it out, but would it not have to be a left hand thread ?

Doesn't follow that it is.

b40rt,

I've also looked in Rupert ratio's book and a BSA workshop manual but it is not mentioned at all , I've tried it both ways LH & RH but it wont budge and I dont want to go at it too hard just incase i damage something . Its quite difficult to hold the bits and try and undo thats why Im looking for advice on how to do it.

The lever is through the alloy case and the case is badly worn ,Im sure this must be a common problem and again was wondering how others have corrected it.

Thanks for your reply ,will wait and see if anyone else can help.

Regards

It's in Rupert Ratio, page 109 under 'other details..' 3rd para. Basically, fit the rack fully into its recess in outer cover, tap lever clockwise as spindle is left hand thread. Pinion won't move as rack is bottomed out

davetom,

Well what can I say!!!. Many thanks!!That will teach me to look a bit harder next time. Any ideas on the best way to correct the sloppy fit? Happy Christmas.
