Tom1902 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Hi - I am having problems removing the clutch cover on my RD350lc. It appears to be because of the water pipe which passes through the crankcase is stuck - both in the hole (there is a slight ridge in the pipe) and in the clutch cover (I presume it is a separate part). I have tried gentle taps with rubber hammer, and a carefully wedged screwdriver without success. Ideas please. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Sorry I can't help with your problem Tom, but I may be able to help you getting a reply. Try sticking a bit about yourself in the new members section that way folk will get the impression that you're sticking around and not just a fly by night, getting your answer and disappearing into the (blue) haze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YPVSTony Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Assuming you've taken out all the screws, certain there is 9 in total, it is usual for the clutch cover to get stuck on the O ring that fits on the end of the alloy coolant tube that is seen in your photo where it fits inside the clutch cover to seal the coolant from the gearbox oil. There is also a wire circlip on the tube which is by the O ring to hold the tube in place when you put the clutch cover back on. Try spraying something like WD40 in the area where the tube fits in and try gently wiggling the clutch cover off. Be careful trying to prise off with a screwdriver as you'll end up damaging the gasket surfaces.Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
