Uh oh!

Kept hearing some shizzle rattling in the clutch side...well I found the problem.

 

So what's the best way to hold the damn 'clutch boss' to loosen that big ass nut holding the MF'r on?...don't have the 'grabbit' tool they suggest. I'm going to get a new clutch basket, but I need to get the damn boss off 1st.

 

 

The best part of this whole deal....I'm leaving for the dunes tomorrow.

 

p.s....thanks for the pic MEAT, I stole it from your site...

If you don't have the tool to hold it still while loosening the nut then try using a air impact gun. That is what I use and it just spins it right off.

[ledofthezep]

Right on,...that's probably what I'll do, just need to get a socket big enough to fit my 1/2" impact. Thanks man!

 

 

Could anyone tell me the size of that nut holding the clutch boss on is?---need to know so I can borrow a socket.

 

 

$250 for a Hinson, $180 for a stocker.....going to pick up the Hinson this afternoon....yepper, the stealer's taking me from the rear once again.

 

But by god I oughta be pimp'n the banshee this weekend though!

Good luck Led, hope you get it resolved and make it to the dunes!! The Hinson is well worth the $$ IMO, wont let you down....

[FireHead]

A Craftsman strap wrench will work perfectly for holding your clutch basket. However that is about the only thing they are good for besides opening jars.

Glad you found it out Led. Hope to see you on the dunes, although it'd be a f'ing miracle seeing as my ass will still be in TX.

 

Later, hope it works out.

[ledofthezep]

Thanks all. One way or another, it's getting fixed TONIGHT. I have pleanty of beer & the fear of riding a slowhundred EX all weekend looming on my shoulders.

Stuff a rag in the gears..that always does the trick

[ledofthezep]

The Clutch boss doesn't move with the gears...so the wrag trick won't work...used it to remove the clutch bolts though...

[bansheeMD]

I just did the same thing. its a 32mm or a 33mm socket. grab a good landscaping glove, hold on to the clutch boss and hit it with the impact. had no problems once i figured that out. hope this helps, let us know if it works!!!!

[ledofthezep]

Taking off early to go get my part & get everything back together...will let ya all know what I tear up in morning.

 

Thanks again...

mmm, if theres one thing i like more than running an impact at one in the morning its welding at one in the morn, especially arc. you will never have seen so many pissed off neighbors when you direct that mig torch towards their window. it like god him self has arrived. haha

[boonman]

My buddy did that very same thing. But he sent chards of the basket through the crank seal........

Oh yeah...I'm sure they loved me ripping up the alley at 2AM!

I checked mine,...luckily no chunks went through the seal...there were some on the in between the gear & the seal, but nothing pierced through it...probably would have had I tried riding it rather than parking it after I heard the 'pop' when the fingers snapped.

 

 

Soo.....$280 later, shee's back in commission, Little Sahara here I come!
