Jgspahn Posted August 9, 2013 Report Posted August 9, 2013 is this it? The one they mention when rebuilding/tearing down your motor? When you are trying to hold everything and torque the nuts on? http://www.ebay.com/itm/EBC-CT-Clutch-Tool-Fits-Yamaha-YFZ-350-Banshee-1987-2006-/231022751094#vi-content I didnt use one on tear down and busted one the the bolt deals on my inner hub trying to hold it with a screw driver.. (yea.. real stupid I know) Quote
Pastrykiller Posted August 9, 2013 Report Posted August 9, 2013 Impact wrench makes it easy. Take the pressure plate off and leave the clutch pack in the hub. Press one finger on the pack to keep it together and then take the nut off or put it on. It's magic....no special tool is needed unless u just want to spend money. Quote
Zillaguy Posted August 9, 2013 Report Posted August 9, 2013 ^^ What he said^^^ Use an impact gun, easiest way to do it.... No damaged parts... Just don't tighten the shit out of it when you tighten it.... Three small burps of the trigger, no more.. Quote
Motooutcastxxx Posted August 9, 2013 Report Posted August 9, 2013 Impact gun is definitely a great way to go, but I have one of these. Comes in real handy and pretty cheap too.. http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/43/-/171/989/-/18289/Tusk-Clutch-Holding-Tool Quote
Colby Posted August 9, 2013 Report Posted August 9, 2013 dont use an impact when TIGHTENING bolts/nuts ... just asking for trouble ... Quote
Jgspahn Posted August 9, 2013 Author Report Posted August 9, 2013 I broke it with an impact when I was removing it. I want to say that there was a reason I couldnt do the rag trick, but maybe not... Maybe the order I disassembled it? Either way Id like to use the right tool since I broke something the last time. Will this work? Quote

I personally never used that one you posted but I'm sure it would work just fine. I prefer the other one though since you can use it to hold not only the clutch but flywheels and sprockets also... not to mention I've found a shit ton of other uses for it too. Quote
Starwriter Posted August 9, 2013 Report Posted August 9, 2013 I have the one you posted the ebay link for. I like it a lot. I use 1/2 of my handle from my Harbor Freight aluminum floor jack on the tool. It fits perfect for more leverage. It only fits Banshees, so if you're going to be working on lots of different kinds of bikes, buy the vicegrip kind. I've never used the vicegrip kind, but lots of people do. For disassembly, I do as mentioned above. Push on the clutch pack and buzz the nut off with an impact. Quote

I just bought that one from Rocky Mountain.. Thanks for the replies guys Quote
Pastrykiller Posted August 9, 2013 Report Posted August 9, 2013 That's little black knob on your compressor is there for a reason. Turn it down and you won't have to worry about it breaking bolts. Quote

As many times as I've done this I still find myself pulling the clutch pack out, then having to put it back in to do this. Blue lock tight on install and don't worry about bending the tab on the keeper if its broke off. Quote
salmon_slayer06 Posted August 10, 2013 Report Posted August 10, 2013 Turn the impact down to lowest setting. Let the impact action do the work when taking it off. If you want accurate torque on nut, use the clutch holding tool. BUT I would think a few hits of the trigger using impact wrench is the best way... I noticed the clutch tool likes to gouge or mar the soft aluminum. Quote
Nieskes Posted August 10, 2013 Report Posted August 10, 2013 Off with impact, on with impact and blue locktite. Dont be a dumbass and you wont have a issue. A 3/4 impact at full blast probably will not work..... I always use my badass 1/2 electric makita, never had a issue. Quote
Bad one ton Posted August 10, 2013 Report Posted August 10, 2013 I use my electric 14.4 3/8 impact. Never had a problem. TON! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
