Jerry's rebuilt SC goes in today, do I ...

[GTXDawg]

... need to slather or lightly oil the SC washers/gear before putting it in? and of course add the anti-seize ... any other to-do's?

Thanks all!

Just pour some engine oil on the clutch assembly and some anti seize on the hub and slap her in there.

You guys do not put 243 Loctite on the nut threads (impeller nut to shaft and clutch side nut to shaft)...?

I use to do it....but never used the red one....was abit concerned about the red being a little too hard to remove compared to the blue one.

Use red loctite on the retaining nut. With Jerry's super strong shaft holding tool, removing the nut, even with red on it, is not difficult.
