RE: Clutch Linkage Question

[ledman_70@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Someone here or on another list gave a tip I used when installing my new 
over center spring...I put one end of the spring in my vise then bent it 
over and put thick washers ( i've also heard of using nickels) in 
between the coils to stretch the spring out, then when it's installed 
and the clutch is pushed in the washers fall out.
