I oiled everything up, put the bolts and the springs in, rear tire rotated better than ever. Still had some resistance, but you can rotate it without the engine turning over. Then I torqued down the bolts, and it’s back to not rotating freely without turning over the engine. I gave it a couple - just a few - whacks with the rubber mallet, didn’t change. I’m wondering if since it’s still not fully submerged - and a good bit of oil did drip off before I got the bolts torqued - it still wants to stick together when the bolts are torqued? Also, at this point there’s a chance it’s not the clutch itself, it could be the oil, or maybe it could be the adjustment? I was really taking shots in the dark with the worm gear, rather than fine-tuning, and the clutch cable was adjusted all the way out when I got it, so maybe the worm gear is still the problem at this point?
