-Before you start the clutch reassembly, you should soak the clutch ​fiber discs in the fluid you are going to run in the case for at least 15 minutes. ​((cjburr of the XLFORUM http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​t=49915&​page=4)) +|{{:​techtalk:​ref:​tools:​soaking_clutch_plates_by_cjburr.jpg?​direct&​300|}}|{{:​techtalk:​ref:​tools:​soaking_new_cluch_plates_by_chris_b_owens.jpg?​direct&​300|}}|

 +====== Book Table / Holder ====== 
 +If you are working in the heat and have a fan blowing on you, you know how fast the wind turns the pages of your service manual. \\ 
 +Below is a portable book table made from scrap aluminum. This can also be easily made from plywood and 3/4" planks. \\ 
 +The backboard (portion that the service manual sits against) measures 12x19"​. It's actually 13-3/​4"​ tall due to the 1-3/4" book stop on the bottom. \\ 
 +The back legs are made from some scrap aluminum sheet with an angle end cap. \\ 
 +The page holders are made from 2 clothes hangers cut, bent, twisted and screwed to the book stop with fender washers. \\ 
 +They keep the wind from turning your pages and also keep the pages from turning themselves (new books not worn in yet) \\ 
 +This one is made so you can move it from one place to another. \\ 
 +You can hard mount it to a table or your tool box with some creative 2x4 attachments or such. ((photos by Hippysmack)) \\
