4. Loosen the starter/generator mounting and adjusting hardware and then remove the starter belt.
5. Remove the drive clutch retaining bolt (17), lock washer (18), and flat washer (19) (Figure 16-5).
6. Use a Drive Clutch Puller (Club Car Part No. 1014496) to remove the entire drive clutch assembly (See
CAUTION below):
6.1. Insert the Drive Clutch Puller into the clutch retaining bolt hole and tighten the bolt. As the bolt is
tightened, the drive clutch assembly will come free of the crankshaft.
6.2. While supporting the drive clutch assembly in your hand, back the clutch puller bolt out of the
crankshaft.
CAUTION
• DO NOT HIT OR TAP THE CLUTCH WITH A HAMMER. DO NOT PRY THE CLUTCH. THESE
ACTIONS WILL DAMAGE THE CLUTCH.
CLEANING AND INSPECTION OF THE DRIVE CLUTCH
1. Use a brush or a lint free cloth to clean clutch parts.
CAUTION
• DO NOT LUBRICATE THE DRIVE CLUTCH. LUBRICANTS ATTRACT DIRT AND DUST WHICH
INTERFERE WITH PROPER OPERATION OF THE CLUTCH.
• USE ONLY A DRY CLOTH TO LIGHTLY WIPE THE SHAFT OF THE FIXED FACE ASSEMBLY (7)
(FIGURE 16-5). DO NOT USE A BRUSH OR STEEL WOOL. THESE WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE
OF THE SHAFT.
• DO NOT USE SOLVENTS. SOLVENTS WILL DAMAGE THE LUBRICATING CHARACTERISTICS
OF THE BUSHINGS.
2. Inspect the belt contact surfaces of the clutch sheaves for wear. If any area of a sheave contact surface
has wear of .060 inch (1.52 mm) or more, the clutch should be replaced.
DRIVE CLUTCH DISASSEMBLY
CAUTION
• THE DRIVE CLUTCH IS BALANCED AS AN ASSEMBLY. BEFORE DISASSEMBLY, MAKE MATCH
MARKS ON THE CLUTCH COVER AND ON THE MOVEABLE FACE ASSEMBLY SO THAT THEY
CAN BE REASSEMBLED IN SAME RELATIVE POSITIONS (FIGURE 16-6, PAGE 16-8).
1. Make match marks on the clutch cover and on the moveable face casting (Figure 16-6, Page 16-8).
2. Remove the clutch cover (1) (Figure 16-5):
2.1. Thread the center bolt of a Drive Clutch Hub Puller (Club Car Part No. 1014497) into the clutch
until the stop nut touches the clutch, then back the bolt out one-half of a turn (Figure 16-7, Page
16-8).
2.2. Thread the three small bolts of the puller into the corresponding holes in the clutch. Tighten bolts
evenly, making sure that the face of the puller plate is parallel to the face of clutch (Figure 16-7).
2.3. Screw the puller center bolt out of the clutch to pull clutch cover off.
