Castellated clutch nut removal

<< < (2/3) > >>

buxtonmick:
Hi Rob, Thanks for your help. I've got the engine on the bench so maybe I haven't got the gear to engage - I'll have another try at weekend.

Cheers, Mick.

buxtonmick:
Er, it does unscrew anticlockwise...?

Seamus:
As far as I know it is a normal thread. Just make sure that you have put it in gear (use 1st). Check by ensuring that the sprocket turns when you turn the engine over.
I have one to remove over the weekend, so I may have a bit more experience next week and could add to this .

Broken rings usually caused by overrevving/too much throttle hand?  :)

Did my clutch many years back, remember it being straight-forward tho? Seems to be one of those jobs where it can be a nightmare or real easy...

buxtonmick:
470four; Reading the manual, it simply says "unscrew the castellated nut" - well I used the tool that you link to and ended up bending the 'prongs'!  The nut eventually came off using heat and a drift after soaking with penetrating fluid for a couple of days - anyone know where I can get a new one? ::)
