Subject:whoa! loose washers on crank
From:Warren Lail

Hi all,

I just pulled the clutch and flywheel off of Bill Bones to replace the flywheel seal.  I pulled the flywheel
seal out and two washers were loose back there.  One appears to be a thrust washer with a tab on it,
while the other is a flat washer with markings on it.

I have replaced a flywheel seal before on my 81 aircooled, but I have never seen two loose washers
back in there.  What gives?  Do I just push them back on there and button it up?

Many thanks!
