after taking apart my 65 cb160 i noticed there was no bearing in the clutch adjuster mechanism. i went out and bought one and installed it. now the crank case cover won't go on. i'm left with a 1/4 inch gap, eerily similar to the diameter of the bearing.
even with the adjuster backed all the way out the rod seems too long. i even took off right side crank case cover and clutch pressure plate to see if previous owner had mistakenly put bearing on that side, unfortunately, found nothing. weird, shouldn't the clutch NOT operate properly with bearing missing? i ask because with bearing left out of the mix, it does work. i also thought maybe i was doubling up on the bearing and just could not see it in the grease, but again, no such luck.
i checked the fiche and i know this bearing is supposed to go there. but when i remove it, all works fine. help???
