Read articles →This is part 16 of an ongoing DIY clutch job on a split Boomer 40, showing actual reassembly steps: orienting the clutch disc correctly, installing PTO and shock absorber, cleaning old sealer and gunk off the flywheel with brake clean/acetone/Goo Gone, torque specs (60 ft-lbs flywheel, 20 ft-lbs PTO and pressure plate), and using a 3D-printed alignment tool. Best for owners already following this repair series or tackling their own clutch replacement.
Posted by the trac nunya channel, an owner doing his own hands-on clutch repair across a multi-part series.
If the clutch isn't touching the pressure plate when installed, it's on backwards. The flat side should go in first so it sits flush against the pressure plate.
Flywheel bolts (four) are torqued to 60 ft-lbs since it's not specified in the book. PTO bolts (six) and the clutch pressure plate are torqued to 20 ft-lbs.
Use red can brake clean (perk) first, then acetone for sticky spots, and Goo Gone for gummy residue that acetone won't remove, available at Walmart or Lowe's.
A service alignment tool holds the clutch and pressure plate in place while starting the bolts, since once the transmission shaft is inserted the bolts become inaccessible.
