79 390 clutch
« on: January 05, 2017, 03:34:48 pm »
Anyone know if you can undo the set screw in front of the drive sprocket and lift the whole clutch activator out of the cases? Or are there internal bits attatched that wont allow it?

Easy done. The seal will come out with it though. Put a ring spanner under the nut (put a washer under the nut) & gently tap it upwards (might need a moderate tap). Make sure it's really clean (polished) when you put it back & it will probably have an indent in it from the pushrod which you'll need to de-burr. They can stick causing clutch slip until it comes free which is very frustrating.
