Exhaust Joint/Clutch Pin

Unknown

As the time to install the motor in the '26 Coupe is now down to a couple

of days, there are still a couple of questions to resolve.

The Coupe has a '29 motor in it now and it will come out to make room for

the sidevalve. The exhaust pipe has a screw fitting to hold the pipe into the

cast iron manifold. What do you remove this with? It has a ring with teeth in

it that looks to be made for a special tool. I sure don't want to break the

manifold!

I understand that the clutch is "pinned" on rather than splined on. From

a practical standpoint, how is it assembled/disassembled? The transmission is

'26 with the locking gearlever, but the motor is '29. I don't know which

clutch is in it now, but it seems to work well so I would just like to use it

as is.

The car has not been driven for more than a year and the clutch is

certainly stuck. The only way I know to free it is to start it in gear with

the clutch depressed and hold it with the brake. Does anybody have any

gentler ideas?
