Re: MBD strengthened ( lightened ) clutch crown wheel

Sorry I should have been more clear - the base of the spider didn't protrude from bottom of the sprocket. It would have locked up if tightened down. ah yes i had this with the tino crown wheel but it was only slightly short , i removed a small amount from the crown wheel centre to stop it locking up.

Re: Lambretta clutch tools

There is only one holding tool this holds both the crown wheel and spider together to allow the centre nut to be undone and tightened , the type buzz sells does the same job as the other types , the other essential tool is the clucth spring compressor.

Whether the bearing justs drops out with heat all dependings on how the bearing went in and how long its been in there, some people dont heat the housing up hot enough and the bearing gets knocked in , this can s...
