@1:38 If you have this issue in the future, what works best for stripped out socket head Allen bolt removal is; a Torx bit. I am an Industrial Mechanic and this is a fairly common find in my field. It is quick and easy to remove with this method. Pound the Torx bit in with the hammer then attach your ratchet and go!

thanks heaps for the feedback my friend. where about's do you work?

[@miltiadiscolivas5060]

@@PowerRepublic I work for Regency Fireplaces International. Main production facility is here in Canada. Lots of lasers, robot arms, turret punches and break presses.

[@il2tutorials]

How many clutch plates are there to replace when overhauling the clutch? Do you use a mixture of TM35012 plates and TM35017 or one or the other?

[@ross3697]

Do I need any tools specific to the TM to strip this down/rebuild? Thanks

[@PowerRepublic]

Nothing specific TM per se. I used the same equipment I use for all engines.

[@staceyreeves9523]

so what was the primary problem, in the bottom end?

[@PowerRepublic]

hey stacey, it was the input shaft or layshaft that had snapped on the circlip groove.
