Figure 30 Figure 31 Clutch puller installation
CAUTION:
Do not use a jaw type puller or use the 6mm tapped holes as jackscrews or you
are likely damage the clutch or drum.
CAUTION:
It is possible to cause damage to the piston when using the piston stop. Care
must be used when removing and installing the clutch arbor and using the piston
stop.
4. If necessary apply heat to the center clutch hub.
CAUTION:
Do not heat the crankshaft threads or the aluminum shoes.
5. Keep tension on the puller as you are heating it.
The clutch will often pop off under tension from the puller and it will be very hot.
CLUTCH WASHER STACKUPS:
Once the clutch is removed, and cool to touch, carefully put it into a vice and
remove the center shoulder bolt out of each clutch shoe. You may have to heat
the center hub again to remove the bolts. Once you get a bolt loosened,
carefully remove it with the shoe and observe the way the spring washers are
stacked. Clean the washers and bolt if you intend to reuse.
The spring stacks in your Cobra clutch will contain 11 individual springs and flat
washer(s) configured as a 5 ½ stack. See figure 32. This clutch is designed such
that it reconfigured by the customer to achieve different clutch engagements ‘hits’
by changing washer counts and configurations.
CAUTION:
Generally reassemble the springs as you removed them from the engine or as
you received them from Cobra. If you are unsure call the Cobra Technical
Support Group 517 437 9100 and consult the experts.
