Clutch Lifting Mechanism

#1 Post by Linx » Mon Sep 17, 2018 4:58 pm

My clutch adjusting screw locknut was stuck fast. So I removed the mechanism from the sprocket cover to free it off. Big mistake! While I was playing with it, a small ball bearing dropped out. This led to me dismantling the whole thing to try and get it back in. Of course now I have balls everywhere and three other components that I just can't get back together [emoji37]. Does anyone have any instructions or tips on how to reassemble this little puzzle again?

Rebuilt OK today [emoji4]. I cleaned up all the pieces well. Put some new grease in the outer spiral grooves. Fed the cage in slowly and each ball one at a time until it was all the way in. Slowly and carefully fed in the inner spiral and the rest was easy. Thanks for the offer of help Paul [emoji106].
