Greetings,
I just bought a 1967 Atlas that has been in dry storage for about 10 years. This is my first Atlas. I have owned and worked on my Norton Commandos since the late 1970s. I have most of the service tools needed to rebuild commandos. But nothing for the Atlas.
My first project was to “unstick” the clutch plates. This seemingly simple task exposed 2 other issues.
The 1st issue was one of the 3 studs were stripped. I ordered a replacement stud and the associated threaded adjuster nut. Of course after placing the order I read the associated nut also should be replaced. Another shipping charge!
The 2nd issue was a terribly worn clutch hub. I located and purchased a NOS clutch hub on EBay,
Before I attempt to replace the hub I would like to acquire all the needed tools. Besides the hub extractor tool, what else do I need? Do I need a special socket to remove the nut securing the hub?
Any advice and insight before I start this task will be greatly appreciated.
