How does a person get into the steering clutch compartment on an HD-6G aside from the small access plate on the top of the compartment? I don't see how a person could ever get his hands in there to do any work much less see what he is doing. I have an owners manual but it doesn't show or say much. The clutch was stuck and I got it unstuck but I think I still have some problems in there. Quite a bit of rust for one and the clutch lever still doesn't seem to work quite right.

I have HD 5, I believe the only difference between the two is the motor. I've had my clutches out a couple of times. You will need to take your fuel tank off. Then take the cover off and you can look right down on it. You'll see the brake band around the clutch and it will be connected with the brake pedal. The two pins in the brake band have 1/4 inch holes in the end of them threaded. N/C (20 threads per inch) There should be two 1/2" pipe plugs on the outside of your cat, just above the track with 1/2" or 3/8" square holes in them. With a little heat they should come right out. Now you should be able to get a long bolt in there and use it as a puller. Now for the removal of the clutch. There will be a ring of 1/2" bolts on both sides of clutch, six I think. You take those out and in order to do so you will need to be able to move cat a little to get to all of them. After getting all the bolts out use the brake band as a sling to raise it out of there. I put a chain around the canopy and used a come along. Now if it doesn't wan to come out you may have a 7/8" bolt in the middle of the flange for final drive side backed off, this is what happened to me and why I was tearing it down. My right steering brake wouldn't disengage. If this did happen I made a 1 5/16" wrench out of 3/8" steel and had to bend it just a little to get in there, slow but got it. Hope this helps.

You can remove the steering access covers. If there is alot of junk in there, like dead snakes, dirt ect, just pour about 3 gal of DF and run it for a bit and then do that several times with slipping the clutch just a bit. Then use mineral sprirts to degrease. Re lube the throwout collar ect an you should be good to go. Do not forget to use the plug. Keep out the plug when not in watery conditions. Holds the moisture in the compartment which will cause more rust

there is a very good discussion on the discuss.ibdozing.com on the steering clutch removal for the AC HD 6

Doug,
There should be a plate about 8" X 16" on top of the housing that you work through. You will probably have to remove the fuel tank to get any room to work.

Good Luck,
Lee
