I have the clutch apart on this '51 Model A. The roller bearing was shot, allowing the whole pulley to move when the lever was pushed or pulled. I have two questions; the bent washer (for lack of the correct term) that's under the 1209 roller bearing was situated such that the outer edge of it was in contact with the outer bearing race. I think that allowed the inner bearing sleeve to move out of the bearing. Shouldn't it be the other way around, with the inner part of that washer to make contact with the inner bearing sleeve?
Question 2; The dogs are stuck to the pins that hold them in. The toggles and dogs move like they're supposed to, but the pins rotate. I think they should also float on the pins. I'd like to get them apart and clean and grease them before re-assembling everything, but I don't want to hammer on any of that for fear of cracking cast iron.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
