[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 103665, member: 597"] Geez I hope I'm not the one who has to disassemble your clutch next time.............. Loctite is great stuff, but only where it's really needed..............The main problem why most folk don't do the C20 up tight enough is because the nut has a very limited amount of hex available for a socket to get good contact with. You should really machine the mouth of the socket down so you get a full hex contact, then just do it up with a 1/2 inch rattle gun. Ok a figure like 60 Ft Lb's for those who prefer the touchy feely thing. No such figures in the books to say yes or no..........Well guess what.............Most old Brit bike owners shop manuals also have little or no torque figures in their specs either, so I'm using a common sense approach and years of experience to tell me what I feel it should be. If the inner splines on the C3/1 shoe carrier have too much backlash on the spline there is a good chance the OD of the hub will also be badly worn, this will cause a very sloppy chainwheel, even if the bushes/seal have been renewed.............Do yourself a favor, contact the Voc spares co and buy a new one. Both problems solved. Don't forget to tighten that nut fully...........I strongly recommend you DO NOT USE LOCTITE ON THAT FINE THREAD. You will seriously regret it if you do........Good luck.
