Spider Removal

the spider (counterclockwise) using Clutch Spider Install
Tool PN 2870341.

NOTE: It is important that the same number and

2. Inspect the Teflon coating on the moveable sheave
bushing.
Moveable Sheave Bushing Inspection:
Replace the cover bushing if more
brass than Teflon™ is visible
on the bushing. Refer to bushing
replacement in this chapter.
3. Inspect all rollers, bushings and roller pins by pulling a flat
metal rod across the roller. Turn roller with your finger. If
you notice resistance, galling, or flat spots, replace rollers,
pins and thrust washers in sets of three. Also inspect to see
if roller and bushing are separating. Bushing must fit
tightly in roller. Use the Roller Pin Tool (PN 2870910) to
replace rollers and pins. Take care not to damage roller
bushing or bearing surface of the new pin during
installation.
