That info is in the tech tip on adding an extra Steel plate, you might want to think about doing that while you're in there Norton!
And impact wrench makes getting that large clutch basket nut off, but you'll still need to wedge the rear wheel when tightening it. You'll need a low scale ft/lb torque wrench, or an inch pound one, the clutch basket spring bolts only needs 7 ft/lbs!

Hey Norton
You can also do the clutch change without draining the oil if you have the bike on the side stand.
don't forget to line up the cogs on the back of the basket before you start retightening everything. I broke my oil pump idler gear 'cos I didn't check. Ouch!

A superb tech tip; pictures, complete explanation, etc.
Muchly appreciated.
I had looked under "clutch", "transmission", "modifications"; everything except "engine". ..........................guess it just never dawned on me, that it might be part of the "engine";
duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .....................
Thank you very much, again, for the tech tip, and for your effort(s)
putting it together
