dynabanshee Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 (edited) I'm having a problem breaking lose the nut that holds the clutch on the shaft (the 32mm with the lock tab). I used to have a clutch holder, but I can't find it. Any good way to hold the clutch without one. Any tricks to breaking it lose? Thanks!

dynabanshee Posted November 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Damn, I don't have an adapter for my socket. I have a 18" breaker bar (3/4" drive I think) it snaps on to. Any other ideas? I wanna try and get the damn thing off tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to work on these very much invest in an impact, it makes the job way easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixitrod Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 You can screw an old pressure plate and clutch plate together and slide it in there. Then, stick a shop rag between the primary and clutch basket gear. It may take more than one fiber and steel. They can bend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynabanshee Posted November 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Many thanks all. Although I hate being sloppy and binding things up to torque on shit, I slid a hammer through the rear sprocket to lock the rear sprocket and swingarm together and it came off. I have a air impact, and I went and got the adapter for 3/8 to 1 in. =) Yes, impacts are freakin awesome. Speaking of impacts, do you ever turn the pressure down low and put nuts back on with yours, or do you stick to hand tightening when working on your shee. Personally I hand tighten em, not just to see the torque, but I get the feeling it could over thread it the way those things are, but maybe I am just to cautious.
