I just finished splitting and reassemblying a 22 in order to add electric start. It sounds like you're on the right track, except that the clutch is not quite as you describe... what you're describing sounds more like a D2.
In addition to what you've already said, it is also necessary to remove the clutch pedal and cresent shaped lever that actually moves the throw-out bearing... without removing them, the yoke cannot rotate in order to release the ears on the throw-out bearing yoke. Here are a couple of pics of what it looks like in there... Wayne
Whoops! I just realized its an Orchard Model with a clutch lever, not a pedal... so I'm not sure how yours is actuated... disregard the part about removing the pedal and cresent shaped lever.
thank you bcwayne for the info.!I guess I'll add clutch pedal & lever assy. to the "remove" list. I was basing my knowledge off of a D4-7J we had to split to swap engines & what I could see through the service/inspection cover on top of the 22's bell-housing.
Exactly what I've got to do to my 1935. Only the ears on my yoke are worn out and I'll either need to replace it our build it up and machine it out to fit the pins.
While it's apart, I probably ought to replace bearings and reline the clutch.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
