[QUOTE="donrapide, post: 12048, member: 120"] Can only agree with A HRD about the need for a tight clutch nut. Do not use the thin mild steel locking tab washer, it squashes out under the stress of the tight nut, find another way to lock the nut. Also fit a large, thick washer under the nut. If possible find a washer that is dished and fit it with the concave face to the clutch. If the splines are slack see if you can fit steel shim material in the gap, turning the hub in the drive rotation before fitting same. I've use slivers of cat food tins before. The end of the shaft splines should be below the surface of the drum, it would be very unusual if they were not but check anyway. [/QUOTE]
