Guest jay Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) the actual job itself is very easy and very simple, but a bitch to get too, you can make life easier by removing the seat,as above theres 2 clips to remove,disconnect the clutch cable,the shaft then slides out only one way,allowing you to get the clutch pedal off,then swap the nylon rachet parts and re-fit, ive done a fair few in the past... a good tip here is to study it abit first and make sure you know exactly how the clips and spacers go. hope this helps, jason.

Guest steelcabby Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 i'd just take the box out as its a scum bag to do. oh and watch the rachet dosen't slip round else you will be swearing smashing things and nursing a nice cut finger. or your could take the seat out to do it, i took the lot out when i did it last.. only takes 5-10 mins to get it out. take the circlip off the end and it will pull out from the other end chap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suffolk04 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 is it slipping? mine had just started slipping, so a friend a ford told me to take the clutch cable off, put a washer at the back of the fork and instant fix. it just changes the position of the teeth on the ratchet. they used to do it years ago because their a pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
