What is the trick to keep the clutch from spinning when you are trying to pull it. I have no chain on the bike cause it broke. That is why I need to remove the clutches. I have to get the tranny out and torn apart to replace my case that I cracked when my chain busted. I don't want to hurt the sheaves shen I am trying to pull it. I used a pipe to stick down between the primary and then tried to pull it but the rear sheave stayed on and the clutch itself came loose. Need a little help, or a trick to get this dang thing off.


Hey BMP,
I have a 3/8 extention with a small socket in there and then I am using a 3/4 fine thread bolt which screws right in. It is working as a clutch puller but how much torque does it take to get this off. I don't have a belt on there because I don't even have a drive chain. It broke which is why I am removing the clutches to get my tranny out to replace the case that I cracked when the chain broke. I have an impact gun but don't have a socket big enough to fit the head of the bolt. I am using a BIG pipe wrench to turn the bolt head on the bolt I am using.

 

The primary has buttons also,you will need to back it up from the other end,where the flywheel is.I never had any problems removing my clutch by tapping slightly with a hammer.If you have the right puller it does help,but i make do with what i have.I have removed mine plenty of times with no problems.It will take some force to get it off.I did run across one that backed off like yours did,and i had to get to the flywheel to be able to keep the crank from spinning.

 

Thanks CED,
I will head back out to the garage and try some more.

 

Got that little rascle off. About gave me a heart attack when it popped. Thanks for all your help.

 

Glad i could help.

 

I have a little trick for holding the clutch while pulling it.I have a long wooden wire brush that is square that fits throught the clutch into the running board and holds it great.
