What’s up everybody, welcome to Moped Rich.

Today I’m going through the process I use for re-lining a Tomos Moped first and second gear clutch. These steps will help show how to repair your Tomos clutch pads when they get worn out.

The first gear on these clutches is worn down. The second gear isn’t as bad but I will do these as well while I’m at it.

The items needed for this are:
1. A couple of hose clamps large enough to fit around the clutches.
2. A box cutter or cutting blade
3. Fel-pro 3026 cork gasket material – this comes in a roll that will be more than enough so re-line all your Tomos clutches and your friends.
4. Gorilla Superglue gel – The gel is easier to apply and makes less of a mess.
5. A wire wheel attachment for a drill
6. A drill
7. Or a strong wire brush

First, start by removing the clutches and clutch bell from the moped.
The first gear clutch should come out of the clutch bell easily. The second gear clutch is held into the clutch bell by a circlip. Using some large circlip pliers remove the circlip holding the second gear clutch in the clutch bell.

Next, measure the width of the clutch and cut a strip out of the gasket material to that size. Repeat the process for the other clutch. You should have a strip for each clutch.

Using the box cutter or blade, remove any old cork from the clutch shoes. Take off as much as you can with the blade.

The rest can be removed with a wire wheel/brush attached to a hand drill. Use caution with the hand drill and wire wheel, I recommend using a glove or clamping the clutch down.

Now we are ready to glue on the new cork. Wrap the cork around the clutch shoes and cut off any material that overlaps.

Apply three dots of the glue gel to each shoe, one dot in the middle and one on each end of the shoe. Then carefully wrap the cork around the shoe apply some pressure and hold it in place. Slide the hose clamp on and tighten it down. I glue one solid piece of cork on then cut it into thirds after drying.

Let the glue dry and set for 24 hours.

Thanks for watching and follow for part two and more moped content.
