Sprag Clutch Repair - You Tube

Good evening,

I saw this last night where two guys took a three cylinder Triumph 900 (T3) engine apart and went deep into getting at the Sprag Clutch. Only down fall with this clip, it's in another language other than English. But what they did under their conditions was interesting and some of the tools or lack of was interesting as well. I think this clip was designed to disassemble and I am looking for the assembly one as well.

Very interesting and the language barrier is no problem as ive done 2 my self it is a pain to do but a simple enough job , and you dont have to mess with the top end ( a small mercy ) so all your timing stays perfect .

Thank you for the response. I viewed the clip several times to get a better feel to what is involved in repairing the sprang clutch assembly. But I have a question for you since you have done this in the past.

In the clip it appears that all the attached items such as the starter, alternator, water pump, clutch hydraulic housing, main sprocket housing and clutch cover and clutch pressure plates have all been removed prior to splitting the lower case. Am I correct in my observation?

What is the process to drop the engine from the back bone of the cradle.

Also what other parts such as seals does one require when doing this operation.

I have done a number of older Triumph 650/750 parallel twins and Norton Commando overhauls in the past with good success, so doing the sprag clutch. I have an ace up my sleeve in that one of my friends is a retired Triumph factory trained technician who has advised me that he is available.

My apologies with so many questions, as I know I should just take the engine to the Triumph dealer and have them deal with it, but with all the bikes I've restored over the years, I have never had anyone do the work when if you have the skin set, tools, shop and the desire to do it ones self, I am not sure I want to have some one else do what I can do!
