,there should'nt be any reason to remove the resin from the clutch lever screw,...its there for a reason!

It sets the timing of the piston in the cylinder and allows it to move the correct amount to open up the port to the fluid reservoir and allow the pressure in the system to balance.
I know this from bitter experience of a slipping clutch caused by the screw being in the wrong place :-(
