hey guys i wanted to know if anyone knew how to get the central 30mm nut off the clutch assembly. i have been having dificulty with it because when you try and break it the clutch basket turns with the nut. is there a special tool or a bodge for this?
the problem is that the clutch seems to be catching on something when the bike is straight and not in gear even though i have disassembled it, when you tilt the bike to the right the clutch frees and turns.
any ideas

Re: taking the clutch apart
your 'ment' to use a clutch holding tool whats basicly slips onto the teeth then stops it from sping
what i do is put on of the clutch cover screws back in the jam a screw driver inbetween the screw and the basket
Best to have 2 people to do this !

Clutch holder tool is £20 on eBay.
If you'd read the manual you'd know that you need one..

Re: taking the clutch apart
i made one using bolts. i just put two smaller threaded bolts on to two pieces of steel strap i had then cut one shorter than the other and bolted it to the long one loose enough to pivot, just like this

Re: taking the clutch apart
you can also (if you have a spare drive plate and fricton plate) drill 2 holes in them then bolt them togeather fit them into the clutch and no more spining!

Re: taking the clutch apart
I use an impact gun on the aprilia ones, not worked on the kwak bottom end yet. You can get these electrical impact guns now, they would probably work.

Re: taking the clutch apart
I never get things to the 'right' torque anyway. Havn't got a torque wrench, I know what you mean with the guns, but on something like the clutch nut, which is a hard steel nut, on a hard steel shaft it wont strip like butter if you get a bit carried away.
