Clutch removal from the top.

I was able easily to get the clutch out from the top without touching the main shaft bearing blocs. I removed the 3 servos (much easier to replace), remove the self tapping screws (only the top) from radio tray and that is it. Did not touch the fan shroud.

I replaced the liner AND installed the governor sensor! Thank you for the trick

First Mercuriell you rock thank you for the videos. You are one of two people my family would know by voice if they met you. lol Finless being the second.



Pointers on clutch relining:
You do not need to trim the stock Align clutch liner it's a perfect fit. You do need something to expand in there I used the cardboard center of a roll of black electrical tape trimmed to fit. The ends will meet perfectly if you expand the liner 100%.
I coated the clutch housing with 30 minute epoxy using a toothpick and did not put it on the liner itself. I carefully spread a thin layer on the housing making sure to get no seepage that would stick to my cardboard tool.

Thanks for the observations - I had noticed too that on more recent liner changes that the liner was an EXACT fit - so much so that it butted up nicely against the clutch bell without ANY support - the originals needed 2-3mm trimming but it's good that this has evolved to make this unnecessary :).

I've re-edited the OS50 bearing change video (http://video.helifreak.com/?subpath=mercuriell&filename=OS50.wmv)and managed to slim it down 10MB and redid some segments I wasn't entirely happy with.

That makes perfect sense thanks Mercuriell.

Oh cool thanks for the word up on the video I will revisit it. Never can have too much knowledge in this hobby.
