Ross9999992 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Washers you say? I would remove one/some until it frees up 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bajadre Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) could try with 2 washers foxy and see if its still tight? or try some threadlock on the screw let it set should hold it 👍 Edited February 22, 2023 by Bajadre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross9999992 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Yeah it was the s on washers I was getting at. They are just there to stop the clutch bell moving backwards and forwards. Try with 1 or none if 2 is still binding it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
