ment out.
If required, use soapy water or silicone

The pass between the ball bearing and
the clutch drum shaft might be stiff . If that
is the case then warm the entire cover up

are placed on each side of the
counterhold (B). Otherwise there
is a risk of the clutch cover being
damaged.

using a hot air gun.
Knock the edge of the cover against a
wooden block so the ball-bearing falls out
or use a hammer and punch.
