Okay I began to reassemble my clutch when I noticed the problem that caused
me to dissasemble the thing in the first place. All the clutch components
are fine, but the transmission input gear looks like it has had the crap
beat out of it. So I guess I'm gonna order a new one ($95 bucks phew)
My question: Do I need the ring nut tool (http://www.mgcycle.com/tools.html)
to get out the old hub? It looks like the PO may have tried to get it out
without success, the nut in there looks a *little* bit mangled. I can't
think of any other way to get it out easily, but I hate to spend $36 on a
tool I'll probably only use once.
My comment: It is beyond me HOW ON EARTH you guys would ever assemble the
clutch with the motor still in the frame. With the motor on its nose, I had
a tough time keeping the springs in place, not to mention lining up the
intermediate plate.
