I have a grubee 50cc that was humming along just fine. I've been having problems with it holding an idle, so I was tinkering with the throttle screw, trying to boost it a little with the clutch lever engaged. I noticed the clutch was starting to grab, and then I heard a few weird sounds. Crunching, and getting louder. So I shut it off. Took the clutch cover off, and a few of those little bearings came tumbling out... bummer.
The outer race is now separated from the clutch pad/plate. all bearings are out, and it looks like "heck" to try and piece this together... I figure I'll punt and buy a new clutch pad (with the bearings and races all together). sound right?
Now, I gotta figure out how to get the large nut off that shaft, so that I can install a new assembly.
Essentially, I want to buy a new clutch pad assy, leave the shaft in place, etc. I'll scan for a clutch removal how to...
fyi - I was using Lithium grease, and using a pinch straw to spray into the opening between the races to try and keep things lube in there.
