You should get one. If you plan to do any work on it, it will save you tons of time and tons of costly mistakes.

 

I just looked at an exploded view of your clutch. It looks familiar. See if there is a washer behind the nut that has one side of it bent forward over the nut. They do this to keep the nut from coming loose. This could be your problem. If so, just take a flat punch and a hammer and pound the washer flat. Then the nut should come off.

Geez. I hope you bought that thing dirt cheap. Maybe you should part it out? Busted frames are not good.

That quad has 2 clutches. One is a centrifigul clutch and the other is a normal gear change clutch. The centrifigul is to the right of the normal clutch and overlaps it a little. The centrif one is a left hand thread. The normal one is a regular right hand thread. Which clutch are you having trouble removing?
