Not as productive as I wanted to be today as something else came up. However the clutch is now in.
The new EBC Heavy Duty friction plates from Yambits were oiled up and placed into the basket using the original plain plates. Starting with a friction plate, then plain, then friction, and so on.
Next was the new EBC Heavy Duty springs from Wemoto. Compairing these to the originals they were about half a coil longer than the originals, I would say this would be due to wear. The pressure plate was mounted with its actuating arm and bearing before the springs and original bolts.
Tightening the bolts on the clutch up to 7nm was nerve racking as my torque wrench only goes down to 10nm, so I had it set slightly below that and eventually they all clicked round.
Now was time to build the barrels and the powervalves. After cleaning the valves up of the old coke deposits with WD40 and a little wet and dry I started on the right cylinder. New seals from Yambits were added and the valve greased up before inserting into the cylinder.
I used the handle of an insulated pliers to lock the valve to tighten the joining bolt. And then it was a case of tightening the valve holder bolts on the outside of the cylinder. And this was where I had a problem. There was some I think blast media in the threads left over from the powdercoating process. This makes tightening the bolts difficult and there is a big risk of damage (see the lower yoke) removing this media is also a pain. So that's where I am currently. Just need to sort the thread out on the holders by which time I should have the stud dowels for the cylinders and so the pistons can go on...
