Clutch Adjusting Levers
A thorough inspection should be given the
levers, the eyebolt pin, and the fulcrum.
If they show any wear. replace them.
To remove the release levers, grasp a
lever and eyebolt between the thumb and

seated in its socket in the lever (Fig. 4).
Lift the fulcrum over the ridge on the
end of the lever. Lift the lever and eyebolt
off the pressure plate (Fig. 5 ) .

Inspect the pressure plate to make sure that
it is not cracked or scored. Check on a
surface plate for a warped condition, as a
pressure plate out of alignment will result
in clutch chatter.
