FSM days 1/2-full turn, sorry.

I found some bad galling in the side cover, and the snap ring wasnt oriented right, but the ***** were all in place. Going to pull the clutch and see from there.

Snap ring on the back of the clutch is in place. Unfortunately, I can feel the loose rivets causing **** to rattle, so that is the issue. I will pull the pack out soon and keep you all updated. Pics to follow.

See how smooth the mechanism works first, the galling shouldn't matter because the movement doesn't occur where the galling is.

That is true. I looked at the edges of the ramps and they were smooth along the sides... mechanism works well. I will get a gasket, throw out bearing, and put it all back together soon. I still haven't pulled apart the clutch hub yet to see what is loose in there but I think you all hit the nail on the head.

Some thick grease helps hold everything in place while putting the ball and ramp together.

Thanks for the tip. Pesky little buggers aren't they?

The thing that bothers me in that pic is a piece of material inside the snap ring groove. Is that a burr, displaced material, junk, or what?
