Will you please replace clutch No.24 on C-17 by No.26 off C-16. Will you also refit the oilite cage pilot and trunnion thrust bearings if you are satisfied that they are still in good condition. The 1st motion shaft from C-16 will have to be used. Oil should be cut off from the trunnion thrust bearing, but not from the other lubricated surfaces of the trunnion.
