I will probably turn this thread into a tutorial when I get this and related jobs wrapped up. I have removed the sprocket cover and I took lots of pictures. My concern now is installing the sprocket cover without damaging it. I've read several times on the org that the clutch slave cylinder can cause cracking of the sprocket cover and this might happen from hasty installation of the sprocket cover.
Is the correct process simply to thread the bolts in evenly so the cover remains flush to the engine case? Even tightening of the bolts compresses the slave cylinder and avoids cracking of the sprocket cover?
For installation purposes, should I try compressing the slave cylinder by sticking something through the pushrod hole in the clutch slave cylinder retainer plate (steel plate on the inside sprocket cover, prevents cylinder from coming out white sprocket cover is removed). I always compress my brake caliper cylinders in this way before installation and it helps a great deal.
Thanks. I'll be watching.
