Hey, I used the washer trick. I removed the front pulleys (I do not know if this is necessary, I just needed a surface to hook the chain wrench around). I put a piece of wood between the clutch and the seat, holding the clutch fully depressed. Using the chain wrench to hold the shaft from turning, I removed the front bolt. Everything came out with it. I added the washers, pushed everything back in, re-installed the bolt with non-permanent locktite (Blue, I believe), torqued to 170 ft/lb, replaced the pulleys. Oh yeah, if the copper washer on the large bold is not captured, use something sticky to hold it in place - it can fall off the bolt, and if it does, you will pump oil out around that bolt like crazy. I replaced mine, the new bolts have the washers captured. Have fun!

Irv, Keith's dad

Everything you want to know, and the ability to buy the part instead of manufacturing it...


Ain't life grand?
