[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 103713, member: 456"] Thanks for the advice Martyn but note that I wrote that I put the piece of wood near to a spoke nipple. Actually I ensure that the piece of wood is actually under a nipple and I have never bent a nipple or broken the piece of wood. I am somewhat bemused by this thread. With the mod I recommend I not only do not get oil into the clutch, it is actually dusty in there. As for things coming loose or getting thin through wearing; well I have never found a loose nut when the spring was intact or found a shim significantly worn. As I wrote above, unless there is something I do not understand here then all that tightening the nut is doing is ensuring that the gearbox main shaft, shim, bearing centre and shoe carrier rotate as one. As for micro rotation of the shoe carrier on its splines leading to wear and using Loctite to prevent it, I despair. Vic is clearly a competent and experienced engineer but the thought of having to dismantle a clutch by the side of the road or at a rally with any grade of Loctite on the splines gives me an attack of the conniptions.
