Morning all!

Good days practice, test at hooton yesterday cut short by the new style clutch block expanding such that the clutch drum was pushed off.

Can't get the drum back over the block, is it possible to compress the clutch back into the closed position to allow the drum to go back over?

Gut feel says no but if anyone has experienced anything similar or has managed to close the block back up i would be interested to hear.

Reflecting back I think the clutch drum nut must have loosened causing the drum to spin away from the clutch assembly when the engine reved.. Potentially an expensive lesson - check and re-recheck all nuts before going back out on track!
