Lynx II, hull # 4225

[Peter Duggan]

Guys,

Gerry and Robin showed up on Thursday with a well rebuilt shifter tower which was installed in short order. However Gerry was disturbed by some of the sounds originating from the clutch. After removing the battery pack and access plate we were able to expose the top of the clutch assembly. This revealed a grease line to the release bearing that had come adrift and disintegrated along with the remnants of the release bearing hub (retainer). It appears that this was incorrectly assembled by someone who shall remain nameless (myself).
Bottom line is that the engine now has to be pulled, which entails a fair bit of work just to expose the engine.
This project was to keep me busy in my retirement and is doing so, still enjoying every moment.
I am now looking for a replacement "Hub-clutch release bearing", O9B 7561, which appears to used in other applications as well as in the Lynx. Should anyone know where I can source one, please let me know.

Peter
