Lucky, I saw you in the wrong area....Here is how..to reassemble clutch cover and press. plate . Place the levers in position in the cover and assemble the lever pins. You will note that the casting supporting the levers has a hollow part cast in them opposite the lever pins. This allows the lever pin to be pushed to the opposite side of these holes and that end of the spring should be assembled to the pin. Push the lever pin to the opposite side and slide the spring through the hollow part of the casting and assemble it to its end to the groove in the pin. Assemble the nine springs into position in the pressure plate and place the cups on them. Place the cover and lever assembly in position and compress in arbor press (I use "C" clamps), start the cover to pressure plate screws. Tighten these screws one turn at a time until the cover has been securely bolted in place. On standard model the colored spring should be assembled in the center of each bank of three springs. All center springs should be the same color. Hope this helps.
