Thread: 101 Clutch Fun

I noticed the big nut on the rear output of the tfr case is loose - can turn it with my fingers.

If you mean the the 20mm self lock nut on the output flange it could contribute to leaking as there is a felt washer (594029) behind the big flat washer. This nut should be done up to 120 ft/lb. In changing the oil seal the hardest part was getting that nut undone. If you can turn it by hand I would replace the nut also.
Once undone its pretty easy to change the oil seal and felt washer, so I would do that while you are this close. Just need to remove brake assembly, tap off the oil shield, and with the coupling flange removed you can lever the old seal out with a screw driver.

Good luck,
Peter

Well it is all back together and seems to be Ok - replaced the clutch and the consumable bits in the fork, the engine rear main seal, though the old one seemed Ok and the tfr case rear main seal.

Removing a LT95 by yourself on a sloping driveway is not much fun but the biggest PITA is reconnecting all the ancillary bits - such as PTO unit, cables, exhaust etc - these actually took about 3 times as long to do as the clutch itself.

Next time I think I will pay someone to do it - oh did I tell you about the 4 litres of tfr case oil down the driveway when the pto fell off into the oil catching pan and spraying it everywhere .

Anyway the 101 is back on the road and down to Bendethra this weekend.
