fitz18 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 Hi guys, back on again for a bit more help with my rebuild. Firstly should the ball be welded onto the end of this shaft out of the clutch blasket? Ive been reading and I dont think it should. There was no ball bearing inside the clutch basket so im thinking the one welded on is it. Secondly where does this rod go? I was lifing the engine out of the frame and it fell out and I want to be sure I put it back in the correct place. Thanks guys Quote
Bansh-eman Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 no the ball should not be welded to the rod or the adjuster. the rod and the ball go inside the drive shaft that you clutch mounts on. do your self a favor and go buy a clymers. it will show you step by step on what to do Quote
shanYE west Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 No the ball should not be welded and that the push rod for the clutch. It slides into the shaft that the clutch basket is on. Quote

Thanks for the reply mate. Just want to be putting her back together correctly. I have a clymers but just wanted to double check. Even though my clucth worked fine should I still buy a new ball bearing and adjuster? Quote

It'd be a good time to throw a pancake bearing in there :beer: Quote

This may sound dumb but can I not just cut the ball bearing off the end of the adjuster and buy a new ball bearing?? Will this not work the same? :shrug: Quote
Bansh-eman Posted November 16, 2007 Report Posted November 16, 2007 no you need to get a new ball and adjuster screw.. you dont want anything remotly rough on them touching Quote
Hilarious Posted November 16, 2007 Report Posted November 16, 2007 Get a new adjuster screw assy. with the pancake bearing from cascade. It is an allen head screw and will not strip out easy like the stock phillips head adjuster screw. Quote
