I have completed documenting this work for those interested in the parts, tools and procedure used. You can find my write-ups here.
- 21 BMW R75/6 Remove, Refurbish, Install Clutch
- 11 BMW R75/6 Replace Crankshaft Rear Oil Seal, Oil Pump Cover & O-ring
I did the same work on my R75/5 as well which you will find on my site. The main differences between these projects were using Southland Clutch to refurbish the R75/6 clutch where I replaced the clutch on the R75/5 project, and not damaging the rear crankshaft thrust washer this time. 🙂
This is the first time I used Southland Clutch. I am very pleased with their knowledge of airhead clutches, their courteous and prompt service and the quick turn around at a price about one-half the cost of the new parts. I am adding them to my Resources list.
WOW This is just a fabulous how to do it , step by step overview. I’ve got a 1975 R 75/6 and KNOW that at some point this project is looming in MY future! As always I am so grateful for your precise and informative work that helps all of us keep these old timers on the road! It’s warming up ! wanna go for a scoot??
