plate up to the outer flange,
then a lined plate, next a steel
plate and so on alternately,
finishing with the clutch pres
sure plate, which is the plate with the
three studs, and
inserting the studs through the
housing. Now place one spring
over a spring stud and screw
on one of the spring lock nuts.
This will retain the plates
close together for the final
assembly. Position the outer
splines or teeth of the bonded
plates in line with each other
and slide the whole assembly
over the crankshaft, engaging
on the centre splines of the
shaft and positioning the outer
plates into the clutch housing at the
same time. When the assembly is

threads are showing on the ends of the studs.

replaced the support arm bearing should be pressed out of the cover, the bearing extracted and the
replacement fitted, finally pressing the bearing back into the cover, making sure that the small cut away is
engaged over the dowel on the inside of the cover. It is always advisable to heat the case in hot water
