Clutch removal suggestions, X-6

Post by barko1 »

Looks like a 26mm nut that holds the clutch basket on, of course I don't have one :x My manual says to use the special holder to keep the crank from moving, would an impact wrench work? I'd rather not remove the head right now, just the clutch :) Thanks for any ideas.

To lock the motor to remove the clutch nut, stuff a rag between the crank gear and primary gear. Reverse rag direction for tightening. 8)
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.
