Primary install, am i a moron?

I'm wondering if something isn't in the hole also. The bolt is 1/2" x 20, which is also something metric.

Yeah Buckeye, I did have the metric size figured out, but no industrial supply in the northern 1/3 of WI had one. My dealer told me to use the 1/2
(and I think you are right) x 20 as that is what he uses. Those were easily available from a number of sources.

The clutch will have seated, BUT, with that much force holding into it, the *SUDDEN* release of the bolt holding it on will cause the clutch to back off a bit, sometimes even to fly off.
