Nathanwhit1 Posted Friday at 09:43 AM Author Share Posted Friday at 09:43 AM Morning all. Bit of advice needed. I’ve got to adjust the pressure plate up too the clutch brake etc but before that do I have to do anything with the clutch arm adjustment on the side of the gearbox ?

Joey Mack Posted Friday at 10:58 AM Share Posted Friday at 10:58 AM Im not sure on the gap size for a Lipe clutch, but the newer ones are set to 1/2" between clutch brake and throughout bearing, and 1/8" between fork tips and throughout bearing. Sorry i dont know the metric numbers . I guess 13 mm and 3 mm... 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75366-clutch-swap/page/3/#findComment-573433 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Geoff Weeks Posted 22 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 22 hours ago did the stud back out (hopefully) or did it snap off below the spoke surface? They can be a pain if the stud snapped off. If near the surface weld a nut onto the top of the stud, gives something to wrench on and heat from the arc weld often breaks the rust bond. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75366-clutch-swap/page/3/#findComment-573665 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na it’s been a ryt b *******d was snapped below the hub line so tried welding and that dint work so I’ve had to drill it too an inch of its life. I’ve ordered a new tap to hopefully rescue the threads 😭😭😭😭 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75366-clutch-swap/page/3/#findComment-573667 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanwhit1 Posted 21 hours ago Author Share Posted 21 hours ago Is this the filler plug for the axle and what oil is best to use ? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75366-clutch-swap/page/3/#findComment-573669 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago I think 80W-90 is sufficient, it has been used here for decades. Some guys use 80-140 also... Do you have a chart that shows what grade oil for the climate you live in?
