clutch basket

[deke484]

todya me and my dad were going to replace my clutch plates. when we got them out we saw that the basket was really worn. we tried taking the bolt off but it wouldnt budge . and whenever we turned the wrench the clutch would spin. can anyone give me tips on how to make the clutch stop turning and how to get the bolt off. thanx

an impact wrench is the best bet. you can get a 12v one from harborfreight cheap

I have one of the better Ingersol Rand air impact wrenches and it hard a very difficult time getting the clutch hub bolt off my KTM. So hard that for a while I thought it was a left hand thread and I was tightening instead of loosening. To keep the clutch from spinning, I used a steering wheel puller tool that I was able to bolt onto two of the holes where the springs go.

take 1 of your old steel cluch plates weld a handle on it ........instant tool for holding the inner hub and getting the clutch nut off.
