Any suggestions? I know how to set the gap and install a clutch so that's not needed, just why would it not spin freely when it's brand new out of the box
You are adding 5mm of shims under the inner bearing???... Shouldnt
need anywhere near that much... fo you mean 5 mm or. .5 mm?? Sounds
like u are binding the bell/bearings when you tighten your hex...
Loose all the shims under the big bearing then check your back
and forth of the bell...
