TM 9-2520-272-40 0045 Figure 10. Brake Clutch Drum Disassembly. CAUTION When you remove handle or install clutch packs, make sure all clutch plates point in the same direction. Under heat and pressure, clutch plates can take on a conical shape, called coning. Each plate will be different in degree of coning. When coned plates are mixed or turned over, they cannot install properly against each other. This can keep plates from making suff cient surface contact with each other for the clutch pack to operate correctly. When one clutch plate needs to be replaced, replace the entire clutch pack. Individual clutch plates should not be replaced, because such new plates will not have the surface contour of adjacent older plates, decreasing the effect of the clutch pack. 33.Remove left brake clutch pack (Figure 11, Item 41), which has 11 plates. 34.Remove six helical compression springs (Figure 11, Item 42).
