Kev and All,
I think I got confused as to what tool we were talking about. I was thinking
of a tool to align the plates on assembly and the other tool was one to hold
the flywheel solid when unbolting the crank. Sorry.
As for the thread in the center of the crank...it's a 12 x 1.5. Same as the
big end of the shock boss (the part that goes into the frame). The nice
thing is that the other end of the shock boss is a 8 or 10 x 1.5 (something
like that...common though) and once you get a nut on that end you can fit up
the right length bolt and washers to get the bolt started in the crank. Then
all you have to do is slowly screw down the clutch assembly.
As for the hub...I removed the hub from the tranny and used it to keep
everything aligned.. Once the flywheel was on tight I placed it back on the
tranny. Worked like a charm.
Regards....Ian

| Ian, Yeah, sort of like the original Guzzi tool right? A few years ago I had the privledge of kicking out the $ for a new clutch hub, the old one can be |
