Ok, nearly there. Sorry its been a while. Just a quick question. Clutch nut not fully torqued yet but when I turn the clutch hub the basket move slightly with a bit of a wobble. Is this normal. I can't say I noticed it the first time I put it together. Cheers Gaz
My 916 basket had a bit of a wobble, since I needed to replace the clutch I pulled the cover off and replaced the bearings after checking the shaft play was ok. 6005 and 16005 from memory. The bearings can't be pressed out as there is a circlip between them. I don't have any internal pullers the right size so I drill out the cage of the 6005 then yank the inner race out then you can remove the washer and press the 16005 out, then remove the circlip and finally press out the outer race of the 6005. Reinstall is much easier.
M nine, Thanks for reply. First did this cure the wobble. Bearing are new in casings and all seem solid there. When you say shaft play do you end float or if the casing bearings were worn. I suppose I'll get some they are cheap enough and see if it fixes it. Thanks again.
Yes it did. I meant after checking the radial play of the shaft I was happy the case bearings weren't part of the issue. For me the basket was quite wobbly and I could easily move the basket by hand, I wasn't too surprised as the engine has done 80,000k's so they may have been the original bearings. I just put a dial gauge on the two that I have rebuilt, both have less than 1000k's on them. 0.08mm was the max I saw on the dial when applying pressure from the opposite side.
I snook the profiles into job at work many moons ago. I will have a look to see if I still have the drawing file if you want to get some done. Cheers Gaz
Mnine, thanks for reply. We'll I have new bearings but they feel looser than the originals. I will get them installed and full torque clutch nut and see what that does. Actually looking at your picture, I did not mean radial movement the wobble was the front face moving in and out. Say pick a point at 3 o'clock and when I turned the basket the point when in and out axially. Cheers Gaz
Thanks again to M nine for the heads up about the circlip and how it went together. Well I did not hold much hope out for it being any better, but it is. Just by eye it does not move as much, I have not fully torqued clutch nut but with DTI I get similar figures, 0.08 radial and 0.08 axially. Pressing the first thinner bearing in behind the seal - there seems to be 2 grooves the lower is for the circlip. Once the face of the bearing was past the first groove I put the circlip in then continued press the bearing in. Once the bearing was in the correct position you can hear the circlip snap into place. I did this because I did not want to press it too far in and mess the seal up, I replaced it new previously. Cheers Gaz
