Clutch Disassembly
1.
Using a permanent marker, mark the cover, spider,
and moveable and stationary sheaves for reference,
as the cast in X's may not have been in alignment
before disassembly.
2.
Mark the stationary sheave and clutch shaft to verify
the shaft has not turned in the sheave after
tightening the spider during clutch assembly.
3.
Remove the (6) cover bolts evenly in a cross pattern
and remove cover plate.
4.
Inspect cover bushing (A). The outer cover bushing
is manufactured with a Teflon coating. Wear is
determined by the amount of Teflon remaining on the
bushing.
Cover Bushing Inspection:
Replace the cover bushing if more
brass than Teflon is visible on
the bushing. Refer to bushing
replacement in this chapter.
5.
Remove and inspect the clutch spring. See “Drive
Clutch Spring Specifications” for spring inspection.
6.
Remove the limiter spacer (B) and inspect for wear.
Replace if excessive wear is evident.
7.
Inspect area on shaft (C) where bushing rides for
wear, galling, nicks, or scratches. Replace clutch
assembly if worn or damaged.
CAUTION
DO NOT reassemble the drive clutch without the limiter
spacer (B). Belt life will be greatly reduced.
