ABSTRACT:
A reconditionable friction clutch is disclosed of the type comprising a cover member having integrally formed lugs along its inner peripheral zone for rockably mounting the diaphragm spring on the cover member. Since these original lugs cannot be reused to rockably mount the diaphragm spring once they are disengaged to gain access to the diaphragm spring, they are replaced after reconditioning the clutch. The radial portions of the lugs are removed, the lugs being severed so that their axial portions are long enough to be received in passages in the diaphragm spring or a new diaphragm spring to recenter the same. Apertures preferably in tabs alternating with the original lugs are formed to accommodate replacement assembly means which may be of the lug or clip type or of the pin type. Such apertures are formed in the cover member either during manufacture of the clutch or at the time of reconditioning it.
