Title: Clutch hub refresh? Who?
Post by: CrewChief6 on April 06, 2010, 09:54:33 AM
Who do you use to get your clutch hub refreshed? Mine is starting to slip. Is that worth a rebuild? Or is it a goner?

I did ours myself.  Here is the process:

1. Press the bearing out of the hub.
2. Remove the inside seal carefully because behind it there are a bunch of little springs. (do all this in a very clean area so you can find the springs if/when they fly out)
3. Spray it all out good with brake cleaner.
4. Reinstall any springs that flew out
5. Pack the bearing good with a moly grease.
6. Press the bearing back into the hub.

If that doesn't work for your bearings, you can get the bearings for about $120 to replace them in the hub.

thanks Scott, but I'm just too busy to do it myself (or more like lazy...)  :P
