2: View of Flywheel Assembly

It is tempting to try to remove the slotted screw head which is presented within the clutch housing at this time, however, it’s not necessary to remove this for a general clutch overhaul and, at time of writing, the author still doesn’t know if this is a left- or right-handed thread; the direction of rotation would suggest a left-hand thread to be most appropriate.  But in summary, the screw’s removal is not fundamental to separation of the friction surfaces.
