ok here we do a install and oiling of a max torque clutch .this will be how to mount one using the set screws .
ok check that the key fits in the slot on the crank and the clutch.
use a small rat tail file to remove any burs , or rust in the slot . the key should slide nice free no binding .
once you have the shaft and key way cleaned up so the clutch slide on easy . put some anti seize on the crank . if you dont have any go buy some . its really worth it . a little goes a long way and the time it saves dealing with stuck bolts and clutches is worth the price
this is the 16 oz can i have been using it for over 10 years on everything and still have a half can left . go buy some .
ok line up the key ways and get the key
if the key is too long like here . dont hammer it in pull the key out and cut it to the correct length.
if you must hammer the key in you must do it like this
note location of finger , now hammer on the key .if the clutch wont slide on the shaft with out binding grab a big hammer and hold the clutch and hit it as needed . once again note how to hold it
ok now that you have the clutch and key in place tighten up the set screws . you will want to check them a few times when you first ride . they can come loose just keep checking them from time to time . once you get them tight they will stay tight for a long time .
you can also put a bolt and washer on to hold the clutch in place if your crank is threaded . use a washer thats bigger then the hole for the crank on the clutch or the clutch will fly off on you .
ok now how to clean and oil your clutch .
you will need snap ring pliers ,if you dont have any go get some trust me . youll like having them makes thing go much faster (less trips to the hardware store for snap rings )
remove the snap ring on the pulley or sprocket side
with that ring gone you can split the drum from the weighs .
check the shaft for wear if it has wear replace it or get a new clutch .
now removing the snap ring inside the weighs you can remove the side plate holding the weighs and spring . be careful parts can go flying .
now look for any rust or old oil and clean it off . so off to the wire brush these parts go .
ok start with the center shaft and place the out side plate on it locking in the tabs
i find if you put the splice in the middle of a weigh its much easier to get the weights back in place . i line up 5 of the and flip the 6th one over .
now put the inner plate in place and squeeze . puting it in the bench vice to hold it works nice or c clamps you dont need to crank down on them just hold it in place
then just oil the bushing and put in the outside snap ring and your ready to go
as for what to use to oil the bushing on the clutch . just cheap motor oil 30 weight . you may also find mixes for using wax and oil they work fine too . its best to oil the bushing when its hot so oil it after you stop riding . and the oil will soak in better . you will want to oil your clutch about every 5 hours of use . more if doing alot of hills or in dusty trails . if you take good care of a clutch they can last you a long long time . this one is over 20 years old and has seen alot of hours of use
