Howdy. I'm not familiar with the KE175 & don't know much about the clutch.
According to the diagrams at Partzilla the clutch spring bolts are M5x20, so don't over-tighten them. the torque is going to be very small, around 30-40 INCH-lbs (not ft-lbs). I would probably gently tighten by hand with a small wrench, being careful not to over-do it. tighten incrementally in a cross-pattern. also, apply engine oil to the surfaces of the plates so they don't stick together.
