6.6 Standard Clutch Overhaul
See Graphic: wc_gr002068 and wc_gr003364
This procedure requires a propane torch or similar heating device.
Disassembly:
6.6.1 Remove the setscrew (2). Slide the clutch plate (3) off of the clutch
pulley shaft (8).
6.6.2 Remove and inspect the clutch shoes (5), the clutch spring (4) and the
clutch drum (7). Replace any worn or damaged component.
6.6.3 Inspect the bearing (6) for free rotation on the shaft. Replace the
bearing if necessary. To remove the bearing, heat it with a propane
torch. Then, while protecting your hands from any hot surface, pick up
the clutch pulley-bearing assembly (a) and strike it against a wooden
(or similar) surface (b). The force of the blow should free the bearing.
Use a puller to remove the bearing the rest of the way if necessary.
Assembly:
NOTICE: Do not grease or oil the clutch pulley shaft or the clutch drum.
6.6.4 Press the bearing (6) onto the clutch pulley shaft (8).
6.6.5 Slide the clutch drum over the clutch pulley shaft.
6.6.6 Band the clutch shoes (5) with the clutch spring. Then, slide the clutch
shoes over the clutch pulley shaft. The clutch shoes should move
freely over the clutch pulley shaft.
6.6.7 Slide the clutch plate (3) over the clutch pulley shaft and tighten the
setscrew (2).
