Dave,
I take that your latest post means you were able to get the clutch out of the Clipper. Would you mind sharing with us how you finally accomplished the removal after so much trouble?
John, I like being consistent. Instead of reading instructions in great detail I tend to barge ahead. Had I read the Packard manual instead of relying on an Motor's manual I might not have made the mistake of removing the pressure plate from the flywheel before "BLOCK OFF THE CLUTCH RELEASE LEVERS WITH 3/8" NUTS, SO THAT THE LEVERS WILL REMAIN IN ENGAGED POSITION...."
Having neglected to do this resulted in the pressure plate springs being extended with the result that there was insufficient space to extract the plate past the fork. My solution was to push the pressure plate as high up into the bell housing as i could manage and tilt the lower portion so that I could jerk the clutch disc down. When I had applied sufficient force the disc came free and the pressure plate had room to come down also. Reading and following the Packard Manual instructions would doubtlessly saved me a lot of stress, energy and worry.
