    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

A couple quick clutch questions

I tore apart Paige today looking for answers as to why she was making such an awful noise below about 900 RPM. What I found was that the hub nut was loose and when I grabbed the basket I could wiggle it around.

#1 When I get that nut torqued down should I expect that the clutch basket will be solid and only be able to spin instead of wobble?

#2 What size is that nut? My 1" and up stuff is all in Sudbury since I don't work on transports anymore...little did I know. :) I'll have to buy a socket during the week.

#3 Is the clutch actuator shaft supposed to be really difficult to turn? I had to turn it with a pair of pliers just to get the cover off.

#4 On an entirely different note, can somebody mail me an R/R? :D


Thanks in advance, Steve
 
The shaft should spin easily. It may be bent from the hub nut being loose. The hub should tighten up when you tighten that hub nut but on the safe side I would remove and check out things. The hub probably runs on a set of needle bearings.

Mine still had some lateral play...even after changing the roller bearing

not sure..... 32 mm stands out in my mind though

are you sure you weren't just using the arm as a lever to bust the gasket sealant loose? if the cover is stuck on the arm can't move out till the seal is broken

I've got a Honda one I can send you
 
Your basket will "wobble" just a fuzz sie to side...No in and out play. Rest, what they said.
 
Even with the cover off the shaft won't spin unless I use a pair of pliers. I'll have to order a new seal and bearings to see if that makes things work a bit better as I don't want my clutch to start slipping.

Thanks guys, Steve
 
32 mm or 1 1/4 works. After buttoning that bolt down the noise is no longer continuous. Once in a while I can hear something so the basket has to go...or it will take itself out. :)
