Clutch Replacement
Removing Clutch
1. Loosen tension on jackshaft drive belt (Item 25) and
slip belt off of clutch pulley.
2. Disconnect clutch electrical connector.
3. Remove capscrew (Item 24) and washers.
4. Remove clutch (Item 21) from engine shaft.
NOTE: Anti-seize compound is applied to engine shaft
at factory. After a period of time anti-seize compound
can dry up causing clutch to rust to shaft. If this happens
try the following:
1. Apply penetrating oil to loosen the shaft to rotor
connection. Apply penetrating oil to field rotor side of
clutch (side facing engine) and also apply through hole
in bearing carrier directly to shaft. Be careful not to get
excess lubricant on clutch, especially the armature and
rotor.
2. Hit bearing collar (on pulley side) a few times to
loosen connection between rotor and shaft. Apply more
penetrating oil.
3. Attempt to pull clutch off of shaft by hand. If clutch
does not come off, use a three-jaw puller. Try have puller
jaws connect as close to bearing as possible. If clutch
does not come off, apply more penetrating oil, then hit
center screw on puller a number of times. At this point
some movement may occur. Apply more penetrating oil
and continue trying to pull clutch off shaft.
