My wife and I bought a CA77 and I think it needs some clutch work. So I opened it up and removed the oil spinner to clean it out while I'm in there and find this... Is this normal?

Edited to swap photos.

Sorry. Had to re-size the image.

Behind/below the oil spinner is this nest of safety wire holding the spring seat pivot bolt in place. I'm concerned about what I might find if I if I remove it. I can get a replacement bolt if the bolt is no good. I'm inclined to leave it alone until I split the cases later.

Thoughts?

I believe what is shown in the picture is an example of saftey wiring the safety wire that saftey wires the safety wire.

It's known very safe.

Hey! I like safety! I guess I'll leave it like that!

All seriousness aside... That's just supposed to be an M6 bolt with a washer and spacer. I would untangle that mess and put it together the right way. That part keeps your $200 primary chain from flapping around.
