Tools required:
- 5mm hex wrench or socket
- 4mm hex wrench or socket
- 8mm combination wrench
- 8mm socket and ratchet (1/4 or 3/8 drive take your pick)
- Kerosene and rags for cleaning (optional)
Start by securing the clutch lever to the hand grip. Any method that keeps the lever pulled in will work. I used cable ties.
Once you have done this (DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP) locate the slave cylinder. It is held in place by two 5mm hex head bolts. Remove these bolts.
Remove the slave. Work it gently from side to side as you pull back. Be sure that you don’t force it up or down, as this might bend the push rod, and that would be bad.
Sometimes the rubber cup comes off with the slave, and sometimes it stays in the carrier
If It’s still in there just pluck it out. And remove the pushrod gently. Don’t damage the seal that goes through the case.
The sprocket cover is held in place with three (3) 8mm bolts. Two can be easily accessed using a ratchet and 8mm socket,
but the one closest to the shift linkage will require the 8mm combo wrench and a s**tload of quarter turns.
Once you have the sprocket cover off you can locate the tube that protects the bolt in front of the chain.
Now would be a good time to clean all that chain goo and road crap out of there.
Replace the sprocket cover
Be sure to put the round peg back into the hole
Now when you are ready to re-install the slave, take the front bolt and put it through the slave and then slide the tube over it like this…
And start it by hand. Then start the second. Tighten them alternately insuring that the slave is installed evenly.
Check that everything is tight and then cut the cable ties. You are done.
