It has has a small (2,5mm) screw that has to be tighten. The the motor goes on the other end. The silver part has a screw that has to be tighten so that when the motor turns it also turns the worm.

Here is a link to some manuals for the Great Polaris and Super Polaris mounts on the Company 7 Website. The Polaris is a little different, but once you get the general idea it's easy to figure out. BTW, If you did get the clutches from me, I think I included a little Allen wrench for tightening the brass clutch piece on to the worm gear shaft. The first two are large PDFs. clutch installation instructions Polaris MT-1 motor install sheet Index of related pages Good luck, LGM Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 5 registered and 24 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
