Which way does the clutch spring retainer go? Convex side in, or out?

Well, I put it together "correctly" and it still doesn't work.
Guess I'll just have to switch to my other set of discs...

Well, I finally got the clutch to work.
Except now it just got too dark to ride (with no lights). Doh.
My first problem (that I didn't even stop to check the first time I tried to redo the clutch) was that the clutch outer wasn't meshed with the oil pump sprocket. RTFM, I guess... I was having problems with getting the lock nut to screw on far enough to stake it easily. I should have stopped and took a better look at the sprocket and the back of the outer.
Second, I guess I should have noticed that the clutch was supposed to spin freely when bolted to the flywheel, before you put the springs on. Every time I screwed the bolt on, it would lock the clutch up (I never noticed this apparently).
For the record, I didn't have to drain the oil. You don't *have* to drain the oil if you haven't overfilled it, and if you put it on the kickstand. If you don't do both of these things, you will probably have a mess...
You also don't have to replace the lock nut every time. You just need to make sure that you stake thread it on so that you can stake a 'fresh' section.

I re-used my lock nut too.
I didn't think you had to drain the oil, but I called Honda and they said unless you tipped it over as far as it could go you'd have a mess.

After thinking about it I don't remember he swears I did but I hit my head not wearing a helmet so a lesson learned I guess.
