quick pancake bearing question

[bansheejoel]

i was just out in the garage looking at the stock clutch adjustment setup and then looked at my pancake bearing setup and im not positive i have it right.....when you get a pancake bearing you just take the hex nut off and slide the adjuster in the pressure plate then put the nut back on right? b/c the old one had like a hex nut built into it and it went into the hex part of the pressure plate and didnt move and the new pancake bearing is round where the stocker is hex so the pancake can spin on the pressure plate, i dont understand why its round where the stocker is hex if it has the bearing to spin why is it round there so that can spin to? can anyone shine some light on this for me, it seems kinda half assed and would seem like the pancake adjuster being round would just wear on the pressure plate where its hex

Yeah you're ok, I just put mine in too and it's like that. just make sure you adjust it correctly and then tighten the jamb nut and you should be good to go.

yup, you should have a washer on each side of the bearing, that slides on the pancake and then the panckae slides into the pressure plate. make your adjustments then put the nut on and tighten down. make sur you dab a little grease on there when you put it on.

should the clutch adjuster move back and forth or am i missing a washer somewhere?

The whole idea behind the clutch disengager is to make the adjuster stop spining with the pressure plate and let it spin on the pancake bearing. This way you dont create undoe friction on the ball bearing. You need to make sure you have the lock nut on the outside so that once adjusted the screw cannot move anymore other than that it cant come out of there once installed should have a washer/packacke bearing/washer on the back side of the plate.
