clutch rod

[atvfreestylekid]

Well, I had the dreaded ball weld it's self to the rod. now it won't come out. it moves freely as I can stick a screwdriver up againsed it and pull the clutch lever and it moves easily. Just won't come out. I've tried a magnet and one of those jaw grabber tool. the jaws will grab it but the rod just only slide so far. Any ideas on getting it out? thanks

how much is it moving when you fell it ? sound like its bent or has a fat burr on the other end. aside from spliting the cases and pushing it out the other said you only going to get it by the magnet/claw thing you have been using probly.

i'd say yours will fall right out from the other side when you get the cases split

It sucks but you are most likely going to have to split your case and pull it out from the other side. This is what mine looked like when I had to take it apart to replace the crank.

 

Crappy pic but you can sorta see how the end of the rod is mushroomed over the edges of the inner race of that bearing

 

This is what my actuator looked like

That arm is exactly what mine looks like. I'm splitting the case this weekend. Should be put back together by Sun. Just gotta get another arm. Already got the rod, ball, and a cascade clutch adjuster w/pancake bearing. Thanks for all the help guys. So much for my X/C race next weekend. :sad: Can I grind down that arm and re use it if my new one does not come in before the race? Or will it fuck somthing up? I figure i would just need to tighten the adjuster bolt on the pressure plate. But IDK. May call jeff after school today.

i wouldnt try to flatten it. the groove will probly snag the rod again. do you have a stock basket? if your running a hinson basket your going to need a longer bolt for the cascade/packard adjuster. i have like 5 of them let me know if you need one

I have an arm around here some where. I live in Houston so if ya need it let me know.

[FASTOYS]

We keep all that on hand, give a holler... I never did hear from you last week...?

[inthemail]

that fuckin sucks. i never had that happen to me b im preventing it from ever happening anyway on the build. are wear marks on the actuator bad? i mean from the bearing and spring?

[Screaming Yellow Zonker]

Damn!!! That makes me want to pull my arm out and inspect it. I am going on a trip next month. a little assurance won't hurt...
