brake is sticky at best. cannot hook the brake rod with clutch clutch rod hooked up. does any one have a good pic of the clutch parts and how the are assembled. ? how is the brake freed up ? and adjusted?

[rdehli]

how do you guys compress the clutch springs safely?

Is it just me or is that clutch throw out arm riding really low on that shaft. Looks like its about a inch low like the two nubs are actualy below the bearing

I use a press, because I have one. there are some nice built spring compressors guys have made that work real nice. I used a jack and a bumper on a pickup once at a pull, that worked nice in a pinch,

if the brake rod is unhooked and you still can't push it down 1 of 3 things is happening, the throwout bearing hits a burr on the driveshaft , the throw out lever is hitting something or the spring coil binds. to adjust the brake loosen the jam nut on the brake lever on the front of the reduction housing and back the square heck out to loosen or in to tighten. that's the last thing you do after you get the clutch adjusted

what is that going across the lever? Looks like a washer that should not be there.

[dvogtvpe]

that would cause problems, didn't notice that
