If factory new would now slide out - lots of penetrating oils at teeth and time. Bob

Well the penetrating oil and wiggling back and forth worked. Does this friction disc look new? I figured the crosshatching would be gone.

TnSaw64, I would guess your right on the hatching, Im sure somewhere there would be a measurement to check, now you have got it out I would think change anyway, my D4 had recessed in past the spline teeth on one side and ran out of adjustment so I changed it.The teeth could be comprised after breaking the rust grip from it? cheers Jamie

I wouldn't say new but definitely looks serviceable, particularly if it does not have any broken teeth on the perimeter. Get a thickness on it and contact GG for the as-new dimension. Since you have the two-piece clutch shaft, it's not a huge job to replace the clutch when it's due. If this is going to be a toy as opposed to a production machine, you won't wear that plate out. But definitely change out the pilot bearing if it looks at all suspect, and check the slop on your bronze throwout collar. The collar makes a lot of difference to the operation of the clutch lever in terms of "clean snappiness" - they're not cheap though so that's a consideration. Keep the oil up to that collar and it will reward you with long life
Cheers,

Air drill with just the right size wire wheel will give a needed polish to the flywheel teeth - how is the pilot bearing?
