FG MT5 Clutch Removal

[cub2000]

What's the proper way to remove this worn out clutch? I tried to turn the two bolts there, but unsuccessful. I even heated up the bolts with a torch, still not moving. The hard part is that when I try to turn the bolt, the cluch turns.

How did you do it?

Ya need a piston stopper or remove the spark plug and use a piece of fuel tubing in the hole to stop the engine from turning over,got that..lol:w00t:

By the way,

From the other post, I was recommended this clutch below as an improved replacement for the worn-out stock clutch:

I want a vented cluch bell that fits the above clutch. What is the direct replacement for the stock clutch bell FG listed below but is vented and fits the above clutch?

Thanks in advance.

The stock zenoah clutch shoes are fine. Just get the shoes and the hpi spring, there is no need to pay the markup for hpi to put their package on the cy clutch shoes.

As far as the vented clutch bell, stick with the stock, the vented ones are for on-roads, for off-roads, the vents will let dirt in the clutch and will damage the bell or wear it out faster.

I run a vented bell on my MT with no issues. The holes are no bigger then if crap came in around the bell. The chances are higher though that you can get something in there with it vented.

After installing the new cluch and clutch bell in place, there's about 8mm of play of the bell on the shaft. If I pull the shaft with bell all the way out, the bell turns freely. If I push it in, the bell is touching lightly against the clutch. I think the right way is to pull it out so the bell turns freely until the clutch is expanded. Am I correct on this? Thank you!

Yes your bell should be against the bearing on the gear plate.
