375hp banshees Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 how r u guys getting down into the shaft to hold it (flat spot on the bearing shaft) so you can tighten up the jam nut w/ the pointers lined up?...there's hardly enough room w/ the ball cover plate off & none w/ cover on ??

RadarRacing Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Thats not a slingshot. What brand is that? Gigot Performance sells the slingshot and it works fine with a pancake. Is that a vitos or somethin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfobasheeboy Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 That is what my slingshot looks like. I use a old wrench bent and ground down and if works great. I will see if I can dig it up post up a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Same slingshot i have.. i got a wrench in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Some of the pancake bearing set ups aren't as adjustable. Mine, I have to pull the outer plate off and adjust the pancake put it back in. Slap the cover on. It's a fast process now but the first couple times were guess and check.

camatv Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 my slingshot says "slingshot gigot engineering... it also has 2 screws that hold the plate on when you take it off. there are extended bearing pushers around for lockups, and the such. i just happen to know a dude that has a bunch ( some are even 4140 steel!)

J-Madd Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Looks like Vito's. You can sometimes get a deep well socket and hole it with channel locks and run an Allen through it to hold the the screw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 What pointers do u have to line up when putting clutch together? My basket and such are stock besides the friction plates and the steals.. I cant seem to get my clutch right so im wondering if im doing something wrongOn the opposite side of the case by the drive sprocket. If you have a good whacked case, you may not have an arrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Madd Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Line up the clutch actuator to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Madd Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 See the nub on the case? The clutch arm needs to line up with that with the cable tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do-work-son Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Here a good pic of what to line up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Madd Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Be sure the cable is tight or just push in the clutch actuator to line it up. The spring there needs to be compressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
