Clutch install trouble's

todd108s · 03-19-2011, 03:25 PM

Ok,so the UPS guy brought me my Birthday gift..I ordered a new clutch from CPP (1 1/8 straight shaft) I was excited and anxious to get it installed.I can get the clutch on the shaft without the key,but I can't for the life of me get the clutch on with the key..I've tried and tried,but can not get the **** thing together without the risk of damaging anything..I've cleaned up any burr's or rough spot's on the key but to no evail..

Any idea's and input would be greatly appreciated..

Chamfer the leading edge of the key that goes into the clutch with a file. Makes it easier. Make sure the shaft is clean, and lube it with a little oil.

Did the key come with the clutch or did you already have it? Reason I ask is when I pulled the Comet clutch off my 23 the key-way was a rectangle, not a square. The wide side I believe went into the crank.
