Barnett Clutch Upgrade - are my torque numbers correct?

[Bert2006]

Will be installing the Barnett Spring Conversion kit this week on the RSV and want to make sure I have the right torque numbers?

 

5ft/lbs for the 5 bolts that hold the new springs on the pressure plate

7ft/lbs for the ones that hold the chrome cover on top of the whole clutch assembly

 

 

Is that correct?

 

Thanks again!

I guess it's correct, but snug is about 10ftlbs, and I just snug'm.......

Bert, please let me know how this works for you.

I'm on the fence to do the same.

My clutch slips when getting hard onto it.

I have been running one in my 06 venture from new. 69,000 miles and love it. I pull a trailer most of the time with no problem.

Installed it tonight. Spent about an hour scraping the old gasket off and then about 20 minutes installing the new pressure plate and spring kit. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would say its 2 or 3...very easy. It was dark by the time I finished so only took a short test run around the subdivision and all seem ok. Had a small squeak when pulling the clutch at first but that went away after a few pulls. Can wait to take an extended trip this weekend to try it out. A few pictures are attached.

Sure is purdy, shame to cover it up.

Well, was able to take it out on a 4 hour run today and no more slip at all. Highly reccomend it!

Thanks for the update!

So all you changed is the pressure plate?

Did you use the springs that came with the plate or extra heavy duty springs ?

Thanks

Used the ones that came with it. The clutch plates looked good though so did not touch those. The trickiest part was getting the old gasket off without having peices fall into the clutch plates.

Thanks

Time to order one !
