Had a hard time getting everything back together after replacing my clutch springs and apparently stripped my clutch nut...

Didn't know it was bad till I started having issues when riding. It would start to die after running when getting to a stop sign or traffic light unless I would give it gas and apply the brake to keep rpms up... Worried I took the cvt cover off
-
Oops posted too soon...
Took the cover off and the stripped nut blew off pow!!! Torque spring sprung.
So have to get a New one of those... Is this common?
Also in the torque spring are there two plastic pieces or just the one? I had one like a sleeve cap that I had on the top of the spring. Maybe it was supposed to very on the bottom??? Top being the outside close to the clutch.
Nother sure if I lost a piece the first time I put in the new spring....
Thanks!

...ouch!!!...
..no, this is not common...
plastic piece?? inna clutch??...
..i know of no such animal..
..pics ???

The stock one I have looks like this but more basic ( no bearings) http://www.racingplanetusa.com/twist-control-naraku-racing-torque-spring-peugeot-piaggio-kymco-china-4stroke-p-4214-1.html?cPath=2_2416_2630&sessID=b665c110af6cf9d4fcf15ce4c1273ce3 (http://www.racingplanetusa.com/twist-control-naraku-racing-torque-spring-peugeot-piaggio-kymco-china-4stroke-p-4214-1.html?cPath=2_2416_2630&sessID=b665c110af6cf9d4fcf15ce4c1273ce3)
Not sure if I need this one? http://www.racingplanetusa.com/torsion-control-malossi-plastic-torque-spring-seat-p-2792-1.html?cPath=2_2416_2630&sessID=b665c110af6cf9d4fcf15ce4c1273ce3 (http://www.racingplanetusa.com/torsion-control-malossi-plastic-torque-spring-seat-p-2792-1.html?cPath=2_2416_2630&sessID=b665c110af6cf9d4fcf15ce4c1273ce3)
Will try posting a pic of mine.... Still all layed out :P
-
..okay, i thot you meant oem clutch..
..so, the big 39mm hex nut, AND the clutch bell nut both came off??
-
...from looking at the pic of the malossi, it should go next to the torque driver pulley, inside the existing spring's seat...
-
The clutch bell nut is fine when I was taking it off the big thin nut under the clutch bell is stripped and popped off.
Trying to post a pic of it... My pic is too big.

Is the nut striped or the threads on the clutch? Or both?
-
Pic try
-
..spring looks okay, and should be as long as it isnt bent....should still stand straight...
-
Spring is good. Dont know if that piece should be on top or bottom when putting back together though. Had it on top... I think, it all shot out cause of the stripped nut..
Guess I will order a couple of these http://www.racingplanetusa.com/clutch-m28x1-minarelli-p-15546-1.html?cPath=2_2416_13596&sessID=b665c110af6cf9d4fcf15ce4c1273ce3 (http://www.racingplanetusa.com/clutch-m28x1-minarelli-p-15546-1.html?cPath=2_2416_13596&sessID=b665c110af6cf9d4fcf15ce4c1273ce3)
Only one I could find but I know they will take forever to get it...
-

..well, dang...you should not need but one!!!
..aannd, i'm pretty sure it goes next to the pulley...
-
..aannd, i'm pretty sure it goes next to the pulley...
Me too
Yeah you only need one. If it comes off again something else is wrong. I assume the threads are ok???
-
Pic try
That is the OEM part. It is NOT a ball bearing dampener. The piece you have goes on the pulley side. The Yellow Malossi plastic piece goes on the clutch side. The piece you have is to keep the spring from coiling into the pulley sleeve.
-
The Yellow Malossi plastic piece goes on the clutch side.
..i did not know that...
-
Thought since I'm going to get one to get two nuts just in case it strips again.
The other threads are fine just the threading on the inside of the nut.... Not sure what I did. Guess I thought I had it lined up and didn't.
Will try to be more careful but will be a while before I can get the nut to put her back together....
-
...that nut should turn 3-4 rotations when tightening...then you gotta really torque it down once contact is made...
-
It's very easy to cross thread too. Start by hand.
-
..yes, it is...and the first time i dis-assembled a clutch, it took me an hour to find that damned nut...
:o
-
Did it fly across the shop?
-
...YES IT DID!!!..
...you spying on me??...lol..
-
Bummer :(
I never heard of that ever happening before. Did you make sure it was tightened up properly 1st time? I marked mine with a line of marker pen before i took it off then i can retighten it to the same place when i refit it. I can get mine on pretty far just by hand and only use the spanner to give it 1-2 turns at most to torque it up.
-
Yeah I must have threaded it on the wrong way and stripped with a regular wrench... Was trying the hold it down with your feet method. What do most of you guys use when putting it back on? I know there is a tool but don't really want to buy it.

I use the hold it with my feet method, never had an issue. Sometimes it does take a few tries to get the nut started on the correct thread but i can tell if its cross threaded cos i wont be able to get it on much by hand. If it goes on and turns 3-4 turns by hand then i know its on right. Just never force it on at the start, if it needs force its on the wrong thread.
There are special tools out there but to my mind they are just a faff about to get on so it would take me twice as long to do the job.
-
...i made this...
-
Feet method on got it... What about removing it what has been safest and easiest?

Reverse feet method.............sounds like some kind of kung fu style lol :D
Loosen it off a few turns until its hand tight with your weight on it then stand down on it and take off the nut, then just lift your feet off.

...i made this...
