Bearing removal

[Banshee330]

Thanks! Good morning guys, Check these gears. They look awful close to me. Just wondering if this is normal. I do feel as if I put it together correctly. I also installed a weisco basket. After installing the gear and grommets, torqued the thin plate in the back it felt as if their was a slight amount of play or looseness between the gear and basket, does this seem normal.

That looks too close

More like it should be shown.  The damage on the basket outside edge in this pic is not normal.  The gear needs relieved if using a thick primary gear with a Hinson basket.

Steve, does your clutch bushing look like this?

[croat1]

Or does it have the early clutch bushing items?  If using the old style are all the components there?

I’ll take a look today when I get home. That gear picture, is the transmission.this picture is the clutch gear, only one I have . I am still waiting on clutch parts. I am pretty sure that spacer with the two needle bearings looks like the picture you have. I think I am sure when I put the basket on , there was clearance. After I pulled the right case down with the crank puller, installed the transmission gears the top one looked awful close to the second gear on the other shaft, so I took a picture of it.

As far as the transmission gears, I flipped that larger gear and it had clearance. But I don’t think it was right, looking at videos and in the manual, so I flipped it back, but the clearance just looked really tight
 to me.

Can’t figure out where this washer goes? It’s 21mmx12mmx2mm thick.

That almost looks like the washer that goes under the flywheel nut.

I believe that you are correct Kevin. That definitely looks like the flywheel washer

Thanks guys, waiting on parts and trying to get back
Into the build is challenging. Found a bag with this in it , and was hoping it didn’t go in the engine somewhere. Seems to fit good on the old crank .

I installed the basket, inner hub and torqued. Installed the clutch arm, the bottom of shaft somewhat stopped at the bottom bearing. It wouldn’t go? I pulled shaft out and polished a little and it went down to bottom bearing and it took a slight palm force push to get it to go. With it down it is somewhat hard to turn without the spring in the correct position. Almost like it feels like it is sticking. With the spring in place it sticks when I simulate the direction the clutch will pull it. Does this sound normal like it’s suppose to have some pre load on it or should it be free. I would think when I push the arm the spring would cause it to return to it’s renamed position , but it’s not doing that. Any suggestions?

If you have the clutch assembled with the springs and the push rod in place you should feel a ton of resistance. If you don't have athe clutch assembled you should be able to rotate the clutch actuator by hand.
Did you lube the clutch actuator bearing before you installed the clutch actuator? Is it possible that something is down in the hole?

I blew the hole out several times, nothing was installed and it would not turn freely. Even pushing the clutch arm down in the hole without the spring and washer. When I installed both bearings I put a little bit of moly on the bearings, I have been dipping the clutch arm shaft in transmission oil and trying to work out all this sticking.  I did put it together with the rod and thrust bearing and pressure plate. Not a ton of resistance. I had to turn the clutch arm a ton just to get the push rod to move. I only have one thrust bearing washer behind the pressure plate. Just seems the more I polish the clutch arm the better it gets. Wonder if it is bent. Couldn’t find a shaft diameter in the manual for it. Any body know what it’s suppose to be, or if they are different between years?
