Trailboss 250 - Do I have to use a Clutch Puller Tool?
I need to remove the clutch off a 1986 Trailboss 250. The manual says to use a Clutch Drive Pulley Puller (Part# 2870506).
Is this neccessary? Does anyone know of another way? Or know what size the threads are inside the clutch?
Thanks.

The threads inside the primary clutch are 5/8 fine thread. I use the pressure bolt from the center of my large gear puller, which just happens to be the same thread pitch and is long enough to work (maybe a free rental at autozone?). If you use a bolt, you will have to "space" the distance from the end of the bolt to end of crankshaft with a socket or something - grease on the ends makes turning easier. Sometimes the clutch won't come off even with an air impact - tigthen puller bolt a tight as you can, then smack the end of the bolt with a sledge - try tightening more - smack again - repeat until it comes off.
If the secondary clutch is stuck - the only way I know to get it off is with a puller specifically designed for it. Use anti-sieze compound when installing reduces the possibility of sticking for the next time you take it off.

Its a 3/4 fine thread bolt. Get a shaft that fits inside the clutch bolt hole and cut it to 3 1/4 in long. Put the shaft in, thread the bolt in and you will get the clutch off.
I have in the past(in the mountains, not at my shop) used a trailer hitch ball with the 3/4 fine thread on it to remove the clutch, all I had to do was make the shaft and it will work.
