Wayne0 807 #1 Posted February 21 (edited) Can I just flip them instead of replacing them? And why are they special? Look like fender washers to me. Edited February 21 by Wayne0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,874 #2 Posted February 21 Friction washers are cupped and flatten out as the nut is tightened Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 40,136 #3 Posted February 21 (edited) Belleville spring washers are cone shaped to provide a constant spring load and friction to adjacent parts. Fender washers are flat. Edited February 21 by Ed Kennell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne0 807 #4 Posted February 21 OK, Mine are flat. Probably replaced by the PO with fender washers. I'll order some real ones. Thanks. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynnmor 7,535 #5 Posted February 22 The friction washers are harder than common fender washers. They are backed up with a Belleville washer to provide some adjustment range. You can flip the friction washers or grind them flat again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne0 807 #6 Posted February 22 Thanks, @lynnmor After looking at the parts diagram again, I see the spring washer is UNDER the cam plate which is why I didn't see it. I'll flip the flats and check the Belleville washer to make sure it's good. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
