Wild Bill in VA 1,366 #2 Posted July 16, 2018 Any thing that is in the way of installing a spring remove it. Some where in my garage is a hook type tool that I used for installing the clutch spring, it ain't easy to get the spring hooked on the rear casting hole on the transmission. (on my pulling Wheel Horses I would twist the spring a few times with the tool for extra tension) The strut as your calling it actually prevents unwanted wheelies as it slows down the return of the clutch pedal linkage so not to engage the drive belt too fast, a good safety feature.

953 nut 51,536 #3 Posted July 16, 2018 I think you will find that most of us remove the strut in favor of a spring. Use your own judgement here. I have used a tool like this for years, works great and saves your knuckles. Any good automotive or motorcycle shop should have them. You can also find them on Ebay. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
