It was the first one! I think it was just the spring tension causing the tightness though, nothing was crossthreaded. Some of the screws were tight in the clutch cover though, had to wind a couple of them out which seemed odd.

I have a set, there wasn't enough space to fit one so close to the clutch cover protrusion though.
That's the reason we had to use HDi bolts in this (I may well have slipped this one removing it previously) as the 1.8 bolts used normal heads which were too big. Any idea if XU10 clutch bolts are the same as DW10 ones? If they're really cheap new it might be a good idea to replace the set this time.
