I removed all my cluches 3 years ago on my 2006 Hanse 400. To be able to unscrew them I needed to use an impact screw driver with the right size bit. Took some time but all 20 screws came out in one piece (each). I re-sealed with silicone instead of sika. Today I would have used som type of butyl based sealant instead.

Sorry to repeat myself but you do not have to remove the clutches from the deck to service the cams if you don't want to.
Referencing the above picture, you can remove the 4 screws that go through all of the clutches (the above pic shows the nut end of the screw). And you can push/punch the lever axle to one side as well. This allows you to remove the side shells, and all the other components of each clutch without having to get at the screws that hold it to the deck.

Thank you All!
Steve, yours suggestion works if I wanted to replace the first cam; but would it work also if I needed to replace the cam of the second clutch? Others, if I understand correctly I need to get some spinach (like the old sailorman) and use my brutal force to get the scews undone. The important thing is that there is no risk of losing the bolts on the other side as the screws are done directly into the metal plate; right? |

I've found that the first cam never needs replacing ;)
You can replace any of the cams in the manner I described and yes I've done it. Cheers

Eventually I had to take the block off.
As explained by others the screws came off easily; it helped using the right tool. |

Hi.
It depends on which generation clutchbank you have. Old ones cannot be removed one-by-one. Check maker’s site to find out this and the work order to do the job. |

I hope that this thread is still being read because it is exactly what I needed to see. One last question prior to my ordering ceramic cam base and cams for the clutches. I am using 14mm rope for the main halyard Marlow Club D2, and it slips about a foot under full hoist. Should I go down a size in cam and base? It sounds like this might fix my issue and if I can do this by removing the side bolts all the better.
One of the side bolts has lost its nut. Is there any possibility that this would let the halyard clutch slip? It is the 4th one from the cockpit missing nut side. |

14mm sounds quite large. I think my main halyard is 12mm dyneema on the 458. I believe Spinlock only have two cam sizes: 6-10mm or 8-14mm so if you have 12mm rope, changing cam size isn't an option.
Although others have been able to replace individual cans without removing the entire bank, I couldn't see any way to do this (boat built 2015) but felt that removing the bank had other benefits. See my earlier post in the thread. I can't comment on the missing nut! And if you are wondering why I'm replying at 2am, I'm being kept awake by mosquitos! [Edit: I reviewed my clutch bank after others insisting that it was possible to replace individual cams without removing the bank. On my boat the long bolts that pass through the entire bank cannot be withdrawn due to the cockpit moulding. My clutch bank sits in a U shaped well and the sides prevent getting a screwdriver onto the bolt or withdrawing it. So I guess it depends on the boat model.]
