Re: (ET) re-installing mower motor clutch body



I get them really clean (clutch body & motor shaft) to get a slip fit, add plenty of anti-seize compound and hand assemble. Maybe a tap with the handle of a screwdriver to get it seated but no hammering or pressing.

Getting the clutch body off of those mower motors is a pain. Now I'm 
wondering what method people generally use for re-installing them. The 
instructions I've seen I think just say to reinstall everything in the 
reverse order. The clutch body is just held on by friction, so it seems 
like there are two main approaches - pounding (and putting something like 
a block of wood over the flange to distribute the force) or pressing. I'm 
guessing the latter would be the preferred method, to prevent damage? If 
so, what kind of press do people generally use?

Thanks,
