I'm hoping to adjust this clutch on a HD5G. Can't see anything through the cover plate hole. Can barely get my phone in to get this picture. The clip is at the bottom of picture picture. I can only scrunch in by foot pedals for a very short time before I have ppanic attack of impending death. How does one remove it and not lose it? I have 35 ppounds of pull on clutch. Should I be happy with that and not bother to adjust? Thanks for your wisdom. |

| These ROCKFORD cluch have a bracket mounting adjustement with a spring lock and lock on the ring and you should have 25 to 30 pounds maximum |

How does it disengage? Do you pry from the inside up to the outside or pry down with a screw driver? Can it fall off? Does it stay in place except for a hinge swinging up? These clip things are not my forte. |

Thanks for the information so far. I still can't figure out how to "disengage" the lock. I pulled on the center piece with the corner of a crowbar but nothing would budge, after squirting it overnight with Blaster penetrant. These simple things have a knack for perplexing me. I'd love to learn the "trick". I so appreciate it! |
