  2. Clean the following components:
    • The clutch plate
    • The clutch rotor (2)
  3. Align the shaft key (4) with the shaft keyway (3).

  9. Hold the center screw with a wrench.
  10. Tighten the hex portion of the J 33013-B  body in order to press the hub onto the shaft.
  11. Tighten the body several turns.
  12. Remove the installer. Ensure that the shaft key remains in place in the keyway.
  13. Install the clutch plate and hub assembly to the final position.

    Ensure that the air gap (2) between frictional surfaces of the clutch plate and clutch rotor measures within 0.50-0.76 mm (0.20-0.30 in).

  14. Remove the J 33013-B. 
  15. Verify proper positioning of the shaft key.

    Ensure that the shaft key is even with or slightly above the clutch hub.
