Hey guys,
funny enough I've been disassembling and reassembling my clutch lately trying to fix the clutch rattle with a GL1000 double steel plate.
I've had the lifter plate on and off 4 times now and thankfully haven't broken it yet. The method is to use a 10mm socket with an extension
and your fingers to get it as tight as possible, 1/4 to a 1/2 turn in a crisscross pattern. Then attach the ratchet and grip it at the very top so very little torque is being applied. The four posts have a little "notch" on top and if the plate doesn't seat into those notches, SNAP it goes. So while I'm tightening I jiggle the plate as much as possible to seat it.
Now my question.......should I be able to seat the plate just using my fingers and the socket with an extension?
Or does that indicate my springs are shot? I'm not a very big he man, so I don't have gorilla hands.
This is my first experience with a Honda clutch. Seems way to easy to seat that plate, maybe that's why I'm not breaking
it.
Thanks guys.
