they make a clutch boss holder. But I just use the air ratchet.

I usually use an impact as well but you can also put a penny in the gears to keep it from turning. I had to do that once it worked ok.

Strap wrench and an impact worked well for me.

I tried a strap wrench but it ended up not working so I used a towel in the gears worked real good.

This is a potentially risky maneuver. It does work, but if you don't feel comfortable doing it, don't try it. There is a potential to break teeth off gears with this method. :thumbsup:

The penny is so soft you will cut it in half before you break at tooth.Thats the way we have always done it and you will have no problem.You will still need either some type of tool or you can screw an old clutch fiber and metal together.It is easiest to just use an impact to unscrew it,but be warned if you use an impact to reinstall the nut it is easy to strip out...

if you have access to an impact gun, that's the way to go to break it loose. to tighten it, i put a rag in the gears, which worked great.
