Comet/salsbury Clutch help

[exjeeper]

I tore into the clutch on my Manco dingo deuce to do a cleaning and belt check. What I found was not a comet 30 or 40 like I had hoped. The tag says its a comet/salsbury. It appears that the rollers are sliding instead of rolling which would explain the lurching and surging on accel and decel.. Any info on how to rebuild it would be appreciated. Or atleast how to disassemble it without taking a spring to the head would help.

More questions.... The blue rollers (?) In my bottom right photo should roll? THey don't and appear to have been riveted to their arms too tightly to do so. THey also don't appear to have ever rolled as they are worn in one spot from sliding on the bell of the clutch.... Ideas?

Sometimes you get a flat spot on the rollers from wear, and they stop rolling. They then just slide like you mentioned. They need replacing

Ok. Wasn't sure. They don't turn. At all. Not even with force. And don't appear to have ever rolled. Base on looking at the paint on them... Since they're riveted onto the arms. Would it be safe to think the replacements would then bolt on?

Ok, Found a great resource known as Quality Drive Service in California. Spoke with Roy. Apparently these were occasionally assembled without the necessary liners that allowed the weights to free roll. Not repairable, but replaceable with parts from Roy.
Thanks for all the help. No affiliation with Quality Drive, Blah Blah Blah....
