Clutch Sight Glass replacement

[videoarizona]

OK...got a chance to go out to work on the 89 this morning. Went to try and get the old sight glass out of the spare clutch MC that I took off a parts bike that @KIC and I picked up from a generous couple who own a VR Trike. They donated their parts bike to us for our use.

 

The glass/plastic(?) crunched out in pieces, yea it was that far gone. But is this all there is? Is there a ring or something holding it in? Or just glued?

 

I did order the replacement kit @Prairiehammer posted a while back and some crystal lenses that were posted as working as well (just in case).

TIA

It almost appears as though the lens is made into the silver part there. and to change it maybe heat it and the thing would pop free like a freeze plug? I dont know though.

Dion, Yea...maybe. I can try that. Thanks.

Other than taking a Dremel to it, I'm not sure what else to try. It won't pry out....

I can`t view it cuz I`m at work.

Hope it`s useful.

Clive,

 

Video reaffirmed that you need to break out the rotten plastic and clean the rim.

 

Good to know.

 

Thanks

Yup, screwdriver blade through the slot, that's how I've always done it...
