Clutch Outer Installation Tool Empty
PostSubject: Clutch Outer Installation Tool   Clutch Outer Installation Tool I_icon_minitimeFri Sep 26, 2014 8:30 pm

Only the second post for this member since introducing myself last year. I have a question concerning the clutch outer (sometimes referred to as the clutch bell) installation tool as shown on page 10-20 of the Honda service manual. Pulling the clutch outer is no problem with Honda's puller 07ZMC-MCTA100 as shown on page 10-10, but my question concerns the installation tool shown on page 10-20.

It appears that the installation tool is made up of three separate pieces, the "Assembly Collar" 07ZMF-MCT0100 (USA only), the "Threaded Shaft" 07931-ME4010B and the "Special Nut" 07931-HB3020A. If this is correct, the cost of the complete assembly tool would be over $192.00 US dollars (thru Partzilla). Is this correct, are all three pieces necessary to make up the compete installation tool?

I have oil leaking from the rear drive, dripping from the bottom of the plastic cover, and have determined that neither the rear drive drain or fill plug are leaking (new sealing washers installed yesterday and both still dry as a bone). That makes the oil seal behind the clutch outer suspect. Easy job to replace the seal if I had the correct tools, but this could be a mighty expensive tool - and I refuse to do any hammering. I absolutely will not take it to my local Honda dealer, I've seen there service department. The young kid working there actually told me "yea, I think I've worked on one of those before".

Does anyone have particular knowledge of the installation tool in question and what must be ordered to make up the complete tool. You help would be very much appreciated. Thanks

I've used a 1 1/2 diameter piece of PVC (cut to an appropriate length), a stack of big washers and the original clutch nut. The PVC will just fit over the clutch bell threads so they wont get damaged. Put a washer or two on the shaft, run the nut up tight, remove the nut, add a few more washers then put the nut on again. Repeat as necessary until the clutch bell clears the snap ring groove in the shaft. You may have to use some means to stop the PVC from turning --I used a pipe wrench. HTH

Oops, I posted a reply to Dimonds "Driven Pulley Rebuild" earlier today in. error. It gives two YouTube links to videos about a version of that clutch bell tool you're inquiring about. Check it out. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to copy/paste that post to this thread. HTH

I've got that tool sitting in my basement. It's brand new still in the Honda plastic bag. I don't need it. The part # is 07ZMC-MCTA100
New they're $100 and up from any Honda online parts store. Ebay, they're $70 used.
I can do $50 US and you pay the shipping. And I'll throw in a set (front, rear, and parking) of brand new organic compound EBC disc brake pads (Made in England) for your Swing as well.
The part #'s for the pads are SFA281, SFA196, and SFA257/2. Is that not a deal?

Well, it's time to look at removing my clutch outer as mine looks as though it has been run with the shoes down to the metal...horrible scoring. I'm thinking of trying a conventional 3 legged clutch puller to remove it. Does anyone have any cautionary tales about using one of these?

Also, cosmic jumper, I like the idea of using a PVC tube and washers to replace the clutch outer. How come the tube didn't fracture under the strain? Do I need a particular thickness of PVC?

I think the reason for a 4 arm puller is because a three arm one is too difficult to control. Possibly those puller arms were tied or banded together to keep them from spreading. Or maybe the 4 arm puller arms have a different shape.

IIRC You mentioned "rebuilding" the final drive; it is possible to remove the final drive cover & clutch bell as one piece. The cover bolts can be accessed thru the holes in the clutch bell. Then it might be possible to press the final drive shaft off the clutch bell. The bell and shaft are not so tight that it requires a lot of pressure to seperate the two. More like strong encouragement.

The installation tool is just standard schedule 40 PVC pipe, with ~5mm thick walls. The clutch bell isn't installed so tight that the PVC is going to split or fracture.

Thanks for that Tim,

A four legged puller makes more sense I guess. Doing the clutch bell and final drive at the same time seems like a good idea, however, we've got some trips to Europe planned for this year so I'm now thinking of doing this as a winter project. The bike is riding fine right now. Time to check out the final drive overhaul and see how to plan all this stuff. I'm gonna be a busy Hector !

I recommend to use only that tool for removing clutch bell. 07ZMC-MCT0100.
If you use something other option you can damage clutch bell. The risk is that the clutch bell will bend and cause vibration. Installation is simple. You can use PVC pipe and custom made nut. I bought two nuts, M16 and long nut. I welding these together and using threared rod and washer for installation.

Hi there arskal,

I would love to own one of those removal tools but I'm told that they are no longer available. Where do I get one? How much do they cost?

I think I'll go down the PVC pipe method for replacing the drum though.

I'm stuck. I'm trying to put on a replacement clutch bell. I've tried the pvc pipe, I even used an ample supply of washers to make up a 'tube'.

The problem is that the bell will not fit close enough to expose the circlip groove. When tightening up the bell in both cases, the wrench comes to a 'dead stop'. Holding both brakes on and with the parking brake on, the wheel moves under wrench pressure before the bell is seated. I don't want to force it any further in case I damage something. Does it really need that much more force to fit correctly?

I tried re-fitting the original bell but had the same problem !...What's going on?

Sounds as if you have run out of threads. If so, adda couple of more spacer washers and hold the PVC with a pipe wrench. In the adsense of the right tool, the clutch bell can only go on incrementally with this makeshift method.

Remove the gearbox cover and install clutch bell with hydraulic press. You can install the cover back even clutch bell is installed to input shaft. You can put cover screws back via clutch bell holes. Use grease in threads when you install clutch bell to input shaft.

Success ! I hadn't run out of thread, I was using 2 inch pipe and extra large washers to cope. I also cut the pipe with a saw and so it wasn't square.

Using 1 1/2 inch pipe (as Tim suggested!) cut with a pipe cutter and using smaller washers, it has moved that extra bit needed with much less force.

Anyhow. I'll post it all when it's done.

Loosebearing's successful pictorial on removing and installing the clutch outer without Honda special tools has been moved to its own topic: "Clutch Bell, how to remove & replace".

https://www.silverwing600.com/t10987-clutch-bell-how-to-remove-replace

And rather than have the excellent pictorial become dilited with comments &/or accolades I've temporarily locked that post.

Kudos to Loosebearing and thanks so much for sorting out this longstanding headache.

Thanks Tim, good idea. BTW, I've just got back from a 2 hour spin (solo) and the SW is behaving perfectly. It seems that riding with a badly scored clutch bell (even with new clutch pads) can have an effect on the whole drive system. I had been living with an occasional squeal from the belt, a rattling noise above 50mph and a judder on hard take off.......all gone!.....DING..DONG small moped

I put a new clutch drum in my wife's oven at 400 degrees for 45 minutes and that raised the drum temperature to 200 degrees and it easily slid into place. If it had hung up part way I would have let it cool, pulled it off, heated it for a longer period, and slid it on the shaft again. I have used the heat method many times while installing various things onto shafts.

If you have have trouble pulling your old drum and you have your puller loaded fairly hard, applying just a little heat to the drum NEAR but NOT ONTO the shaft with a small propane torch will make it pop loose. If not, you need a stronger puller. The steel band that wraps around the drum is very substantial and I used it with a cheap, extended two jaw puller without trouble.

Nice tips Wingman. Thanks.

Hey, not to question your results, but wouldn't heating the clutch bell risk damaging the final drive seal?

Lip seals are made with a variety of compounds but I suspect that Honda uses the least expensive which is Nitrile (Buna-N) that is rated for about 250 degrees F. and that is more than adequate for the gearbox on the Silver Wing. That rating is the reason that I removed the drum from the oven at 200 degrees. I used a small infrared tester from Harbor Freight. I was quite pleased when the drum slid on so easily at that temperature. For installation purposes I would not heat the drum with a torch because you cannot heat it evenly and warpage might occur. All is well on my scooter.

Well seeing how some clutch bells have turned blue in some SW and you need over 500F to blue stainless steel, so if that seal is Nitrile/Buna-n, which is rated to a max of aprox 250-275F, could this be the reason they fail ?? Would going to fluorocarbon seal/Viton material be better, higher temp. rating and very available ??, BTW seal size is 40id.x55od.x7t mm.

Viton is a better choice as to temperature in an oil filled gearbox and Honda just might use viton. I have owned four Silver Wings since 2002 and never experienced bluing (I live in the flat lands of Florida also) or seal failure in a final drive. Seal failure might indicate that buna was used. If I had damaged my seal I would have replaced with viton and they are readily available as stated..

Wingman, ZXR, could you please post a part# and link to a source for that upgrade Viton seal. 

This Clutch Outer Tool post will be archived and stickied, so someone down the road will be grateful for your knowledge.

Tim


BTW the OEM part# for the seal is 91205-MM5-003

The Honda packaged seal p/n is 91205-MM5-003 OIL SEAL(40X55X7)(ARAI), the seal dimensions is the 
seal P/N. 40x55x7 = 40mm id., 55mm od., 7mm thick, brown color usually indicates Viton by Dupont.

 Is just a matter of doing a google search for a 40x55x7 MM fluorocarbon/Viton material seal, can be found from different sources, here's one on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/EAI-VITON-Metric-Oil-Shaft-Seal-40X55X7mm-Dust-Grease-TC-Double-Lip-w-Spring-/263915336067
