New clutch for the blaster

[Big red 200es]

I just buy a ebc clutch kit and I want do know in what ft/lbs I need to torque the clutch cover bolt and other bolt?

Do I need to do special thing or I just put the clutch plate and the steel plate in the clutch basket ?


Thanks

well you will need a universal clutch holder, kinda looks like a pair of vise grips with very long prongs on it that turn are bent at the ends to hold the clutch in place. you get the clutch pressure plate off, remove the old plates and discs, saving the round wavy thingy between the second plates and disc, you will need to put that back in the new set. make sure you dont lose the little ball inbetween the push rods, about the size of a bb, slap it all back together, pressure plate bolts are 4.3 ft/lbs. making sure the dot on the face of the pressure plate lines up with the dot on the clutch hub, use a criss cross pattern when tightening the bolts up. the case cover bolts are 7.2 ft/lbs of torque. hope this helps. this is as per the manual!!!

wait a minute...are you just changing the discs and plates? if so you wont need the universal clutch holder. thats only needed if you are taking the basket/hub, whatever you wanna call it off. if just changing the discs and plates you shouldnt need one. you should be able to tighten the pressure plate up with out it.
