Clutch Rebuild

This was pretty simple. I pushed the clutch pusher assembly into the back of the transmission, with a healthy dollop of molybdenum grease


Then spin the workpiece around, and drop the gear into the waiting bearing:  


Put the washer and lock nut on, and do it up handtight until you can't hold the gear tight by hand anymore:


The drop the clutch assembly back in temporarily:



Check the clutch rod is unobstructed before tightening anything up


Now, the old copper-washer-in-the-teeth trick prevents  rotation of the gear as the nut is torqued up:


Then indent the lock ring to prevent any rotation:


She's done! Now for the clutch mounting. Remove the old seal


and add a new one:


 Get the clutch and retaining half-ring:


Install into the clutch housing:



And drop it onto the transmission. Lock with new stainless allenheads, and turn the whole thing over:


Success! This is now ready to be attached to the engine. Note the well-deserved beer modestly hiding.
