Thanks K2 K6 and Skoti, (K2 K6) problem is that when you take out the clutch spings ect, you have no drive from the clutch so it just turns freely... Skoti, thanks, that will be the solution to undoing, but now need to torque up and have to lock up? I am not sure how to do this without damage. Thank you both for your ideas and help.

There's a special tool required for holding the clutch basket.

If you imagine a set of mole grips with welded on legs turned at a right angle at the end that is what kawasaki sell to dealers as a clutch centre holder, have seen similar on fleabay will try and look

Thank you Brian and all for your help, I managed to make one out of a steel stake that have a bend in them, dont look pretty and has two legs instead of four, but done the trick :-)
