tedd1 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 The treads on the adjuster are recessed down inside the tube. Look into the adjuster and you will see a space where there are no threads. Make sure your lock tight is actually getting down into the threads. Last time this happened to me, I used a japnut (a nut with plastic in the end to keep it form backing off) for a lock nut. I assembled everything and adjusted the pusher without lock tight and tightened the jap nut against the pusher. Then I pulled the pressure plate so I could get the pusher out without disassembling it. I pulled the pusher off the threaded rod being careful not to move the jap nut. I coated the threads with lock tight and screwed the pusher to the lock nut and tightened as tight as I could. Then put the adjuster back into the cliutch and reinstalled the pressure plate. So far, everything is staying put. Rick Quote
