the shaft (Figure 25-7, Page 25-7). See following NOTE.
NOTE: If the moveable face is removed from the hub of the fixed face, the spiral back-up rings (12) must be replaced
with new ones (Figure 25-7, Page 25-7).
7. Remove the spacer (16), and spring (4) and retainer (5). The spring retainer can be removed from the spring
if necessary (Figure 25-7, Page 25-7).
8. If necessary, remove idler bearing (2). Use a press (1) and bearing puller (3) to remove the bearing from the fixed

NOTE: Do not remove the idler bearing unless it needs to be replaced. If idler bearing is removed, replace it with a
new bearing.

INSPECTION OF DRIVE CLUTCH PARTS

1. Inspect the idler bearing (6) for smooth rotation or seal damage (Figure 25-7, Page 25-7). See following NOTE.
NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of grease to be present at the edge of seal.
2. Inspect the bore of the moveable face assembly (14) for scarring or wear. The moveable face assembly must be
replaced if the bore is worn to a diameter of 0.883 inch (22.4 mm) or larger (Figure 25-7, Page 25-7).
3. Inspect the steel shaft (7) on the fixed face assembly. There should be no measurable wear anywhere on the
shaft. Replace the shaft if it is worn, scratched, or damaged.
4. Inspect the thrust washer (11) for wear. If it is worn more than 0.030 inch (0.76 mm), turn it over or replace
it with a new one.
5. Inspect the primary weights (2) and the hub casting for wear. If the primary weights show signs they are touching
the casting, the tips of the weights have worn beyond specification and they must be replaced.
6. Inspect the pins on the primary weights (2). There should be no measurable wear. Replace them if they are
worn, scratched, or damaged.
7. Inspect the drive belt pulley sheaves for excessive wear or damage. If the sheaves are excessively worn or
damaged, replace the entire fixed face drive assembly.
