Tyshooter2000 Posted March 25, 2017 Report Posted March 25, 2017 Hi everyone I am completely rebuilding my 02 banshee. I bought a aftermarket clutch basket and heavy duty clutch from tusk with springs. The clutch cushions are shot so I bought new ones. I cannot get them in. They are way too tight. Should I remove some of the rubber or what. Please help this is a pain in the ass. Quote

They will fit. Man up, lol! They will be tight, but trust me, they will fit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Tyshooter2000 Posted March 25, 2017 Author Report Posted March 25, 2017 I am afraid of using metal tools to do it Quote
sheerider11 Posted March 25, 2017 Report Posted March 25, 2017 Put the handle on them of a hammer on them use another hammer to get them in. They will go. The Mattoon hard ones are super hard and a pain to get in Quote
trickedcarbine Posted March 25, 2017 Report Posted March 25, 2017 Lube! typically a plastic faced or brass dead blow will do the trick. Quote
camp0429 Posted March 25, 2017 Report Posted March 25, 2017 Try to put every other one in to start. Personally I put a little oil on them and tap them in with a socket the same size as the cushion. But they do suck balls sometimes Quote
rjdgriff Posted March 25, 2017 Report Posted March 25, 2017 And here I thought I was the only one who thought they were a bitch lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
JUSTWANNARACE Posted March 25, 2017 Report Posted March 25, 2017 Put everyother one in.. set the other ones in which will be angled up. Use a hammer and smack the side that is sticking up at an angle. So basically your not hitting the top of the puck you are hitting the side to compress it. Any other way will cut material off the puck and will fail prematurely Quote
Tyshooter2000 Posted March 25, 2017 Author Report Posted March 25, 2017 Thanks guys! Got them in. What I did was took the pucks and the wide end I put facing down and then I put the on a angle and hit them in with a polymer rod and a huge 6 lb dead blow. And quit being gentle and hit them in with one hit each. It seemed to get easier the more you got in. Quote
