Hi Guys

I would like to replace the thrust pad (black plastic component) situated in the clutch fork assembly on the engine drive shaft. It looks to be the wearing part when the the clutch is engaged. It has "melted" and is out of shape.

I seek guidance on how to best to make the replacement. I read an earlier post to rossf about disconnecting at the engine drive shaft end and wonder if that is the path I should be taking.
The bearing and its housing at the chain end look to be difficult items to remove.

There looks to be two setscrews at that end to deal with and some avdels to release the clucth fork assembly. Youir advice appreciated


I promise some photo's as soon as the new cylinder has been back lapped and the front roller replaced.
