Band Disassembly and Assembly Notes
See Figure 5-14 for the following.
Each clutch band consists of two segments fastened
together with a connecting plate and capscrews (see View
B). This arrangement makes the band easier to
disassemble.
When reassembling a clutch band, match the numbers
stamped on each end of the band segments with the number
stamped on the connecting plate for proper assembly.
NOTE: Using band segments from different drums may
make assembly difficult.
Do not mix band segments from one drum with
those from another drum. Always keep band
segments in a matched set.
