Hey, Ed -

(BTW - missed ya at the Lickskillet affair today!!!)

I got no idea if you're missing anythang from your list, but as regards #17 - I saw Toad's old one and it looked fine to me; however, Hank suggested the new one that apparently has a groove around the circumference, with a felt washer/ring in it, that is designed to inhibit oil flow toward the clutch assembly. So that's what we did. Also, he drilled a *weep* hole in the bottom of the clutch casing so that any future encroachment of oil wouldn't collect and contaminate the assembly. You'll have to chat with Dave Shealey on just ed zachery what size and where that hole should be drilled, as he wuz one of the first gurus to recommend that procedure.

Hey, Ed -

Thanks Dick , I missed you guys too ( aw, group hug) but 'horse' rally began to get persnickety Friday.
Thought it best not to put the miles on what's left of the clutch.
Thanks for the info on the rod and felt. (Don't cost that much no how.)
Glad you guys had a good RTE.

 

[dshealey]

From memory, it looks like you have it all.

If the actuation rod in the bike already has the groove in it, no need to replace it. You will want to get the new felt cylinder for it though. Put a little oil on the felt before re-installing the rod. The felt is not there to stop brake fluid from getting on the clutch as some have guessed. It will not stop it anyway. Mechanic at the dealer said they did that to prevent the rod from rattling in the bore of the input shaft. It was in the older K bikes, dropped for some reason, but brought back again.

I drilled a 5/32" hole in the bottom of the boss where the slave cylinder goes. Drill it as far forward as you can get it, and I angled it forward so that it came out fairly near the rear seal on the main shaft. Just be careful that you do not hit the seal! That way if it goes again (a given), the fluid will come out the hole before it gets high enough to work it's way down the center of the input shaft and into the clutch.

Thank you , yet again, Lt Prof. Emeritus.

Ed....let us know when you start in on the clutch project. We will try to be there as much as possible for moral support.

A question

Hey guys,

Since I have been eating up clutches lately (TWO of them in NINE hours) I have to ask:
Do you think that the BMW mechanic would know about the felt washer on part number 21 52 7 659 112 rod (L=258MM) and drilling the hole or should I suggest it to them?

I think that is a really great idea that could save me a whole lot of down time and money.

Thanks so much,

 

[dshealey]

I just noticed something missing in your parts list! You need to have a new set of clutch cover retainer screws. These should always be replaced, with the star washers.

Mine were so tight that I had to drill the heads off of a couple to get them out. It is a thin hex head, easily stripped. Get a 6 point socket to help avoid stripping the heads.

21 21 1 454 417 Screw
21 21 1 240 377 Lock washer

Your right, I shoulda thunk more

21 21 1 454 417 Screw
21 21 1 240 377 Lock washer

Thanks, David, I wondered alittle about that, obviously not enough.

BTW, what about--21 21 2 333 449 housing cover, this isn't a wearable item , is it?

 

[mobygrape]

And 4 new exaust gaskets.

 

[early1]

Oh , yeah gaskets!!

And 4 new exaust gaskets.

If I decide to put on a Remus do you still use the stock gaskets???

 

[mobygrape]

Yes you do.

 

[dshealey]

It is wearable, but should not be needed. Unless one wears the clutch down to the rivets, the housing cover should not be damaged.

I did not replace the diaphragm spring, spacer ring, pressure plate, or housing cover when I did mine. just cleaned up the parts good so there was no brake fluid left on them. I replaced only seals, o-ring, clutch plate, and gaskets, along with the slave cylinder.

 

[dshealey]

You should also replace the locknut, 11 21 1 460 797.

That is supposed to be a single use locknut. If you don't get it though, just put a couple drops of red Loctite on it when you put it back, as the only reason they don't re-use them is that they lose a lot of their "prevailing torque" locking feature when installed then removed.

 

[early1]

Most likely TOO HOT in that Kitchen

You should also replace the locknut, 11 21 1 460 797.

Yeah , as I read more I cam to that conclusion.
With respect to the pressure plate--- by the 'smell test'-- bet mine will have some face damage from the heat.
If not , I'll proably put in a new anyhoo.

So far , going with all new parts a little over $400.00
If you leave off the items David mentioned subtract about $100.

Did you factor in ceegars and libations? Don't worry about bandaids, duck tape and paper towels do just fine!
