applied to these splines on a new driven plate as
supplied. This grease is white. Always check that
It is present before assembling the plate to the
stem-wheel. Shell SB.2498 Is suitable for this
purpose.
Place driven plate In position with a suitable
mandrel fitted through the hub of the plate, so
that It may be located correctly when the clutch
cover is fitted. The smaller boss of the driven
plate hub faces towards the flywheel.
This procedure is most Important, otherwise it will
be impossible to enter the gearbox primary shaft
through the clutch plate into the spigot bearing.
A gearbox stem-wheel forms an ideal mandrel for
this purpose.
Enter clutch cover on dowels.
Tighten the six securing setscrews evenly.
Refit gearbox, complete with bell-housing (see
Section E of this manual).

Note.-On a new replacement clutch assembly It
will be found that there are three small L-shaped
"keepers" between the release levers and the
clutch cover. These are painted red and are fitted
to enable a clutch unit to be fitted to a flywheel
without the necessity of compressing the springs In
the cover Into position by means of the fixing bolts.
The L-shaped pieces must be removed after
the fixing bolts have been finally tightened.
Do not allow them to fall into the clutch
cover.
PRESSURE PLATE ASSEMBLY
To dismantle. reassemble and adjust
Dismantling of the cover assembly is not recom­
mended and where possible an exchange unit should
be fitted. If howe-.:er, dismantling and adjusting is
unavoidable, use of the Churchill Clutch Servicing
Equipment No. 99A Is advised.
Two methods are given, first using the 99A Equip­
ment and an alternative method if this equipment
is not available.
Before dismantling mark the release levers (12),
cover and pressure plate (9) to ensure they are
reassembled in the same relative positions which
retains the original balance of the assembly.
Renewal of the cover or pressure plate will require
the assembly. Renewal of the cover or pressure
plate will require the assembly to be rebalanced,
using suitable equipment.
