DRIVE CLUTCH DISASSEMBLY /
INSPECTION
WARNING
The clutch assembly is a precisely balanced unit. Never
replace parts with used parts from another clutch
assembly!
1. Using a permanent marker, mark the cover, spider,
moveable and stationary sheaves for reference, as
the cast in X's may not have been in alignment
before disassembly.
2. Mark the stationary sheave and clutch shaft to verify
the shaft has not rotated in the sheave after
tightening the spider during clutch assembly.
IMPORTANT
Upon reassembly, if the reference marks created in
step 2 are not in alignment, the clutch will not be in
balance and the assembly MUST be replaced.
3. Remove cover bolts evenly in a cross pattern and
remove cover plate.
