Hey did you get then fixed yet? I have the same problem all the time the clutch pads breaking. Really simple back the handle off and remove , theres a thrist washer and spring in there so pay attention to the order they came out, take the 4 screws off the back and push the shaft through that the handle threads onyou will see a fiber pad inbetween 2 washers remove and replace. Sometimes the washers get bent up to but all the parts are really cheap and available on fish 307 just make sure to buy lots of extra pads also had the threads on the hanle strip on me and cannon sent me a updated one for free but fish 307 also carries it.
