Checking and Replacing the Clutch

Checking the Clutch

1.With belt cover removed, visually check outer drum of the clutch for seizure and "V" groove for wear or damage.

2.Clean the "V" groove as necessary.

3.Check the clutch lining and shoe for signs of wear. If the shoe is worn, replace the clutch to prevent deficient power transmission and slippage.

Replacing the Clutch

1.Place a 19 mm offset wrench or the like onto the lower vibrator pulley fastening bolt.

2.While pulling back hard on the V-belt near the lower vibrating pulley, rotate offset wrench clockwise so that the V-belt slips off the lower vibrator pulley. Set V-belt aside.

3.Remove bolt at engine power output by giving a shock to an engaged wrench (e.g. tapping with hammer) and rotate the bolt counterclockwise.

4.Remove clutch with a pulley extractor.

5.To install a new clutch, reverse steps 1-4.
