I started the work to replace the clutch in my '98 FL1 XEi [1.8 K series].
Was a bit concerned when I was draining the g'box & IRD oil. Both were quite dark and the IRD drain plug magnet had a coating of fuzz on it. Should I be concerned? It didn't feel gritty when I rubbed it between thumb and fingers - so I hope all is well there.
Those exhaust nuts just refused to move - they'd been wire brushed and sprayed with WD40 the day before but no way were they going to turn. I even managed to break a socket on one! Then I applied some heat - they gave up then
So onto removing the front cross member. Those bottom wishbone ball joints are refusing to pop out when I whack the housing with a hammer. Any advice there?
