Clutch spring question

Gibby1113 · 12-24-2013, 06:09 PM

Hey guys quick question, if I wanna remove the clutch spring I need to remove the circle clip w/ pliers, remove the pin holding the bottom bracket in place, remove the spring, put everything back together, and that's it? I tried to "pull" of the circle clip w/ pliers (as stated in the DIY from the nissan motor sports forum) but mine kept sliding around. Is there a particular way I need to pull or twist the circle clip? Any advice is must appreciated

They make a special tool for that, but I just used needlenosed pliers.

And removing the silly spring makes all the difference! Nice smooth shifts, just like it should be.

I used needle nose pliers. And why would you put everything back minus the spring? I just yanked the whole assembly out.
