Clutch adjustment old western star

Yup! Gotta spin that ring in there. Can't remember which direction but if you've done clutch adjustments before you'll figure it out no problem. They make a tool for it but I've gotten by with a flat screwdriver or small prybar.

 

Remove the bolt and key. Push in the clutch. Turn the toothed wheel clockwise until your 1/2" brake to bearing gap is achieved. Reinsert the lock key and bolt.

There is a handled tool that threads in where the bolt goes. Should be able to get bu without it.

 

Yup pull the bolt & tab. Turn the ring clockwise . Sometimes the rings do seize I've had to use an air hammer & long bit to move it

 

Yes
Pull the bolt and bracket have someone hold the clutch down.
Then use a pry bar if you don’t have the correct tool and pry the notched wheel around clockwise till you get the correct free play.

 

I bought the tool. Used it once before I quit working on trucks. Seem to remember it was a PITA to use.

 

Yup
It’s a bar with two opposite right angle bends in it with a slot that has a 3/8 bolt in it.
Way quicker and less complicated with a pry bar.
