redouch00,
just buy the 12v impact wrench from Harbor freight $15. problem solved!! can't go wrong with that.
i won't buy those fancy manual clutch removal gizmos. PLUS you will need tremendous amount of muscle power to turn the clutch nut loose with that silly gadget.
besides, it's the computer age, we need to keep up!, we shoudln't get stuck with those jurassic tools.

imo

Not really the right tool for clutch removal. If you have a 150cc it's good for variator fan removal, manually. I have a home made equivalent that I used to torque my clutch to the proper spec on the Fashion and will use it again when the 150's belt change comes due. Otherwise an impact gun is an invaluable asset.

I broke down and got the gun.

Yep

I made this device back in 2010 because there wasn't anything on the market to change a torque spring:

It really works but be careful, that spring can be dangerous. At the time the methods for getting the spring out were compress it with your shoes or set a tire and wheel on it. MRP has come out with a device that essentially does the same thing as mine except it uses threaded clamps. It also has the function of emptying your wallet.

HAHAHA, you bunch of WUZZES, I lay the clutch on the floor put a knee on one side and one hand opposite and lean forward putting you body weight to compress then unscrew the nut put it back together the same way.

Luke, I do not see a 12v impact wrench at Harbor Freight for $15. Did I miss it somehow?

[redroush00]

Its 19.00 i think

Maybe $19 with a coupon. This is the cheapest I can find there.

I have the 110v AC version and it's better than air powered.
