Instructions to install 8000SKL (seal
and lining kit)
Disassembly
Remove clutch from hub by removing
6 allen bolts. Line the access holes up with the allen bolts to
remove the bolts. Apply air pressure to the clutch so the access
holes can be aligned with the allen bolts. Once aligned, remove
air pressure and the clutch will lock-up.
The clutch needs to be compressed before removing and/or installing
any parts.
To compress the clutch use (2) -
3/8”x3” bolts with a large flat washer over the access
holes. Place the bolts opposite of each other and compress the
clutch evenly. (see picture) Do not over compress.
Remove the Cylinder Cap by removing
the 5/16” Locknut using a ½” socket.
Remove the O-ring inside the cap.
Wipe the residue out of the cap and inspect it.
Remove the white Dust Seal. (If the
dust seal is blue, also remove the o-ring underneath it.)
Remove the Large O-ring from the
piston.
Remove the 3 retaining plates by
removing the 6 lining screws using a 5/16” socket.
If the lining is free, remove it.
If the lining is frozen, continue to compress the clutch until
the lining becomes free.
Installation

Piston O-ring groove.
Apply Lube to the white Dust Seal,
install it into the Dust Seal groove. Apply Lube to the Piston
O-ring, install it into the Piston groove.

Place the smaller O-ring on the shoulder
of the cap.

the tab washer over the threads of the shaft and use the 5/16”
Locknut to secure.
