Guest Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Hey peoples..FInally got the motivation to replace my clutch today, emptied the oil, casing off etc..To get the clutch basket off, something beside it needed to be removed to be able to get the clutch off..I believe its the oil pump?!?!?! its got a tiny chain around it anyway, to drive it..SO.. the Nut in the center to remove it is a circular nut, but with 4 gaps missing.. Like horizontal to eachother.. Basically in the position of a compass N, E, S, W..So it requires a special socket that is flat but has the 4 teeth so go inside it?ANy idea's what the actual name for them is? so that i could get hold of one..My clutch is in dyer need of replacement...cheers Quote
Guest Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 A picture from the service manual shows it as this..Obviously this is home made, but i require the actual tool..http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo92/Badboyazza_2009/Untitlede3ra_zpsc250ff90.jpg Quote
Tiggie Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 looks like you need something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sealey-MS028-Clutch-Locking-Nut-Removal-Tool-20-24mm-/140717801546 Quote
Guest Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 cheers guysBut damn.. £20!!!!! still cheaper than a mechanic, and at the end of the day if you need it you need it. I'm sure you could flog it once you've used it for a tenner. Quote
megawatt Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Just try tapping it at an angle with a drift or broad ended screwdriver and a hammer. One sharp tap usually does it. Quote
Grumpy Old Git Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 I made one from an old (damaged) socket. Just cut and ground/filed away what was not needed leaving 4 'stumps'.Worked perfectly (and will work again should I need it). Quote
Tiggie Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 that is exactly what I would do as well Quote
Stu Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 I made one well actually I've made two! using old sockets and a bit of square bar I had lying around but you need a welder to do it the way I did Quote
Tango Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 That's far too neat Stu......giving us bodgers a bad name..... Quote
Stu Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 errr thats a bodge Bob its not my best work and was rushed........5 years ago and is still in use Quote
Guest Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Yeah i had a go at making my own with an old wheel nut socket..But sadly the nut is soooo tight, it just snapped the teeth off the socket My partner is photographer for motorcross at our local tracks, Will ask around, see if i can borrow it Since they see me there alot, and familiar with my face.. It should be fine Got head gasket to do first though, so i can wait.. Quote
megawatt Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Why not do what I said? It's worked for me for over 30 years? Quote
Guest Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Why not do what I said? It's worked for me for over 30 years? I have no tools to cut a steel bar very well. PLus i dont have no steel bar, nor a welder to weld a 1/2" socket end onto it so that i can use it on a 1/2" breaker bar.. Quote
Tiggie Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Just try tapping it at an angle with a drift or broad ended screwdriver and a hammer. One sharp tap usually does it. Alan means this ( I think) Quote
