No but that is a neat looking tool to hold the Variator and or Clutch. I use an Impact Wrench I can take off the Variator or Clutch in less than a minute same as putting them back on.

I haven't tried that tool either. I like this strap wrench:  It can be used on both the variator or the clutch. I use an impact wrench to remove and the strap wrench and a torque wrench to tighten. |

 That's a newer rendition of the original "Grab-It" motorcycle clutch tool sold in the 70's... can't remember by who, but someone who was a notable in two-wheeled innovation, etc. at the time. The spanner pins this one bears on the backside of its jaw arms is a nice touch, IMO.
This is what I use:  www.harborfreight.com/locking-chain-clamp-36813.html?hftref=cjWorks like a charm on variator or clutch, during removal or install and re-torque. |

I believe a impact tool is far safer to use to remove stubborn nuts, you can actually twist and break things with just force alone. also with just force alone you can strip and damage threads too. an impact works in part by jarring things loose. people twist off car wheel studs every day that the nut was put on by an impact. those same nuts come right off with an impact. john

I believe a impact tool is far safer to use to remove stubborn nuts, you can actually twist and break things with just force alone. The issue involved here is not one of removing 'stubborn' fasteners, it's about loosening or tightening moderately torqued fasteners on rotating, non-fixed cylindrical parts... "How to hold them?"A great deal of force is not at all needed on these parts (around 40 ft. lbs. on mine), just a means to keep them stationary while wrenching. If I'm not mistaken an impact wrench does the job of loosening or tightening by turning the nut in short, fast knocks (impacts) which out speeds the rate at which the unfixed part can begin rotation due to its own inertia. people twist off car wheel studs every day that the nut was put on by an impact. those same nuts come right off with an impact. john This is done by service providers not for safety but expediency: faster work = more work per labor hour = more $$$.
I know this may be scoot culture HERESY but, IMO as a long time wrench turning tinkerer the use of an impact wrench for this purpose is an answer to a question no one asked... or should have asked maybe.  |
