Normal undoing direction. I use a length of scaffold pole, and it still takes a fair heave to get it cracked open.Trainraider wrote:Today I have been mainly causing havoc.
Ruined the rest of the clutch basket. Ordered funky clutch basket tool and now I am seriously thinking to buy air compressor with pressure tools to unscrew that FU**ing bolt.
Opening that causes problems also because the engine is not mounted on frame, so it moves easily and therefore there are all kind of bending forces to strange angles...
Oh I hate it when I don't have all the tools needed for such a simple task.
Luckily the spare clutch basket already arrived, so if everything else fails, I'll open it with powerdrill or sledgehammer. And I truly hope it is normal bolt opening to normal direction (which explains why it is tighten so much).
If the engine's still in the frame you can jam the clutch holding tool against the footrest casting, with a cloth between them to stop it marking.
