Cleaning up the clutch

The gear box ready for the engine.


The exterior of the clutch plate is in need of a de-rusting.


The fly wheel locking tool.


Can't find any pics of it finished but I can say that I removed the fly wheel and had a bit of a puzzle to work out how it went back.


I have a flywheel locking tool that allowed the 6 bolts to be removed. There is a clutch/ friction plate behind this that is held in place by friction.

When I replaced it all and tried to fit the engine to the gearbox, I found the friction plate had to be centered exactly in order that the engine fits easily. In the bug me video they recommend getting either a tool or the center piece from the gearbox (see top picture). I found it worked just as well to lightly tighten the bolts. Fit the engine, thus centering the friction plate. Remove the engine and then tighten the bolts.
