I have a couple of good manuals,but they don't have any info on the early "28" clutch. I pulled the engine,and was surprised to see it looked like the inside of a automatic trans,with that big drum. Does any one know of a manual that has info & specs on this. I haven't seen any parts for these either! Thanks.
 
The Service Bulletins have good info on the 28 clutch. Also some good detailed instructions can be found on Jim Masons website. As already stated do not just unbolt the clutch pack without the proper fixture or you will likely be seriously injured. Rod
 
Model A Ford Service Bulletins Complete....is a yellow hardcover book available from most vendors. It features 5 pgs outlining a basic teardown with some points to check & several good pictures showing specialized KRW tools at work.

There also was a 3 ring binder version with nice big pages. I believe it's currently unavailable.

PS .........sorry.... Rod posted the same info up above as I was huntin & peckin! :o

The Service Bulletins pp 221-224 explain how to work on it, but I'm with the others: this is a tricky business and requires special tools.

No specialized tools needed. Just use 4 pieces of 1/4 inch stock with an inexpensive hose clamp. Use a press to hold pressure on the center spring until you can remove the four nuts, and slowly release. The 1/4 inch stock fits the teeth nicely and prevents them from moving.

I have heard of people making up some type of jig, but this looks very simple and easy to make. Very good suggestion.

I agree Brian. You have an excellent idea. I've always used 2 screwdrivers with 1/4" round shafts.

I use an 18" piece of threaded rod with some nuts and washers to take the pack of discs apart.
