Hey guys, wondering if you can help me.
Need to change clutch on my AR, recieved parts from L.T. inc abc clutch plates.

Has anyone fitted one of these to an AR before? if so could give me a little more detail how to carry out the procedure.
Have spoken to a mechanic from L.T. who said "leave out two rings when fitting the plates... they look like the womans huge earings from emerdale" along with soaking the clutch plates in oil before installation.

Please help me!? :?

Serious Fitchy, i'v not changed the clutch on a CRM yet(shouldn't have said that :roll: ) so cant really help, but no doubt one of the more intelligent forumites will be along to help you out. Good luck :)

Just did my clutch two days ago. Look on the clutch change instructions that jonorow put up on my thread. Spot on. The cutaway friction plate and the two metal rings closest to the basket, are what the guy in LT was on about. I took mine out, put in the ebc plates and in goes beautifully. The biggest pain in the arse is feeding the auto lube pipes back through the clutch cover on the engine, about 10 minutes of fiddling about.

Any questions, write back :D

Davey, I bet you had about a gallon of 2 stoke oil everywhere in the process? just one of the joys of a crm. Jon
