Good morning everyone-
I am a new to this group and a new HG owner with some basic mechanical knowledge, but learning as I go. last fall the clutch stopped functioning on my HG, I tried many of the tips I found online about putting a load on, etc, however I decided to pull it into the barn and take it apart along with a few other projects that needed to be done on it.
I pulled the case yesterday and found that the friction plate was totally shot. I'll be replacing that along with the majority of the bearings inside. My question, however is in regard to the springs within the assembly. should I replace these? they seem to function properly, however due to their age i'm sure they have lost some of their tension.
the two i am most concerned about are :
1. Throw out sleeve spring 112754
2. Yoke rod spring 37202
any advice you could offer would be most helpful.
thanks in advance,
Don
