There was no balance mark on this carrier. I'm replacing the clutch housing cover, clutch plate, the pressure plate, diaphragm spring, spacer ring, hex nut, compression ring, and the screws. The housing cover, pressure plate and housing need to be aligned so the heavy portion of each is 120deg offset from the others. How do I tell where the heavy side is on the clutch housing/carrier? Is it the side with the fewest holes?
JerryUncaged10 years agoBalance it across a socket extension or other rod. It should be obvious, as there are only three bolted positions which would give this a heavy half. The middle one will be right, also leading to the greatest imbalance.
That's how I balance mower blades when sharpening.
Yermo10 years agoInteresting that you mention that. A member on the BMW Tech list suggested I used a blade balancer for this purpose, so I placed an order for one and it should be here tomorrow. Nothing like additional confirmation to raise the confidence level.
