    This screwed into the spring bolts and helped stabilise the socket as well :)
    And crack!
    Success basket out.

    Hi Members,

    I'm all for beating the manufacture at that "special tool required game".

    I bought a bike about a month ago from a bloke that had tried to remove the clutch with the same/similar method as above. And it did NOT go well for him, broke the clutch and sold me the bike for cheap.

    A new method had to be cooked up, so here it is. It took two people, one to apply the torque to the nut (extension tube over the socket handle was deployed) and the second to counter the torque on the motor. A tie down replaced (09920-53710: Clutch sleeve hub holder) Suzuki special tool required? not today!

    On every bike (Honda) I've taken a clutch out of has had the bendy washers and they never took much effort with a torque gun. Usually if I am doing the engine I'll crack the stator nut and crank gear nut with the engine in the frame, although I have done them before outside of the bike frame. And I'll usually get to the clutch nut as well.

    Usually my combo of the torque gun and a little heat / WD-40 is no match for stuck bolts nowadays!

    I bought a clutch holder tool too in the past - the one that is like modified vice grips. And whilst using them is the only time I broke a clutch basket! I should just make them into a set of welders vice grips so they can be useful.
