Thanks for the offer Charlie. I got the ring nut off and am having MG cycle
send me a new ring nut like the tranny input nut (thanks to Joe Jump for the
suggestion) so I can use a socket to install it. That nut is only $10.
The way I got my ring nut off was to find an allen wrench that would just
fit into one of the gaps around the ring nut, but not slip past it. Then I
stuck the short end into the gap and held the long end (with pliers) and
whacked on the top of the short part with a rubber mallet a few times. Came
right off. This was after about 20 minutes of trying the screwdriver/mallet
method.

Hi Ted,
I will loan you (and anyone else that needs it) the ring nut tool that
my brother hastily made for me if you'd like. Not pretty but it works.
It's useless on the output shaft of 4 spds. because it's not deep
enough, but will work on the input of a 5 spd. Cheers,
Charlie

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. Ted |
