Changing the clutch assembly on an early 21st Century biological motive unit.
A piece of cake as long as the Haynes manual is available.
Unscrew the thruxton stopper to gain access to the wetware.
Remove the Remmington-Trubshawe bolt, making a note of the torque settings for your beast.
Place the bolt to one side for re-grease later.
Check the clearance on the rear fibrocartilage, replace if outside of tolerances.
If your bio-clutch is post 2005 it will be wet and the nutrient rich oil should be drained before proceeding.
Check your biomass for the correct type and quantity of replacement fluid - to be added after reassembly.
Release the outer bolts on the clutch plate, loosen each of the six a little at a time.
Prepare for the springs to embed themselves in your face.
Remove blood, clean wounds, and apply cadexomer iodine solution to any deep injury.
Assuming the blood flow has been stemmed then continue with disassembly.
Use a reputable degreasant on any particularly rancid parts.
Stand, brush off your knees and have a cup of tea.
Refer to page 2003 for reassembly instructions.
After successful reassembly test your motive unit by slowly towing a medium sized trailer.
If no grinding noises are heard and movement is free then congratulate yourself on your biomechanical skill.
