Clutch Rebuild

I had no issues. Everything pretty much went together with no problems. Did have the wife help with the cover. Good time to upgrade to Samco hoses.

I have never had a problem refitting the lifter piece and rod.... I always havecthe spring washer installed but not the flat washer (the flat washer sits in a ziplock bag marked 'where the eff did this come from?' and is the only left over piece following 3 tear downs/rebuilds)

This evening I tried to refit the clutch/engine cover and cannot get the actuator arm to link into the central clutch pin, then manual says you might need to make several attempts.

I have tries several times and it seems to connect but when I put the actuator arm on and move it there's a click and the arm jumps around.

I'm sure its just me but there's tears of frustration right now. When I line up the cover initially I need to put the clutch arm on and give it a slight tweak and the cover slots on beautifully but while messing round with the arm its seems to disengage, I also cannot see the alignment mark on my actuator it I get it wrong I have to remove the cover again and re-position the central pin and the actuator arm. I suspect i need to refit the flex spring to keep the pin pushed forward as I deliberately left it out. Thinking this may have been a mistake.

Any suggestion?

By flex spring do you mean the return spring on the lifter shaft? Imaginge as you put the cover up on the motor lifter shaft in the cover alreafy, you scoop the lifter piece up with the lifter shaft as she pops up on the case dowel pins. Yes ya just got to hold your face strate. Its the same even if you go with a external return spring like I did. Hope this helps.

Just in case you can not put the cover on and then try installing the

I'm missing the scoop of the pullrod as it moves back slightly i need to put the flex spring that pushes the pullrod forward. I left it out. Major hassle is lining up the clutch pivot and clutch arm. The pivot is marked but the arm is not. When i fit if i get it wrong (everytime) i have to open cover and pull the rod back forward.

Will refit the pullrod spring (the washer one that goes over the pullrod and is under the pressure plate) sorry have pic but not with me.

Sure it will sort it.
