I’m replacing the friction plates on my F3, and I have all the right size sockets except for the center lug. Does anyone know what size socket ima need? Pic provided

 

Hi M20 so should be 30mm Socket

 

It’s the big one in the center I found it’s actually a 27mm. I just need to find out how to get the thing off without that special clutch tool. I heard u don’t need to use the tool with an impact but idk how I’d go about torquing it when I put it back on.

 

Without the tool it's quite hard to do, dont use a screwdriver across the post's or you could break one off, you could try jamming the gears at the back with a cloth to stop them turning, and are you sure about the nut, take a look here

Ite got that all squared away now I’m left with the springs... I know not to tighten them all the way because I tried that and there was 100% free play, so do I put the spring plate in just enough where the contact pin pushes the spring plate?? I’m just real confused on how much to tighten the springs. Right now they’re not tightened at all here’s what I’m workin with

I was also told once they’d fastened just make sure they are all tightened finger right??? I’m a lost lol

 

d pinch them up tight , but my tight and your tight are 2 different things so

 

UPDATE: I have everything in place however I can not determine how far to fasten the spring plate, I put the plate in a millimeter deep into the housing ant it would go in gear but it won’t run, I need to know how far the plate goes in I’ve tried 5 mm and 2 mm And there was tension on my clutch lever But it just won’t seem to grab the gear because when I rolled it it just rolls as if it were a neutral anyone have any suggestions?

 

CASE CLOSED!! Finally gotter all figured out! Preciate ur hell CaBaRet

 

Good morning matey ,what was the problem?

 

one of the friction pads was completely warped, I bought a new one from Honda for 15 dollars and now she’s running like a champ
