Recently I had to change the moveable sheave on my primary clutch on my viper and to remove the spider assembly I made a homemade tool that I thought worked great. If I were to make a few more would there be any interest in anyone purchasing one from me? I figure around $30 plus shipping(5 lbs). I know the local yamaha shop wanted to charge me for an hour of labor to do this so I figure it payed for itself already. any interest?

i used a steel plate that could be bolted to a bench and the holes on the back of the clutch.like different ideas to look at tho.
 
There are threaded holes in the back of the fixed sheave that I used to bolt it to the top of my work bench. I takes a few minutes to set it up but it is very simple to do. It is a little on the crude side but it seemed to work very easily.IMO
 
Now I wish I would have taken pictures when I had my clutch off and mounted to the bench so everyone could see how it looked. All three posts rest flat on the face of the spider so the loading should be very even. I had to replace the sliding sheave on my viper sue to some stress cracks before the thing let loose. I have seen some pics of what happens when the come apart and it looked to be a very bad thing.
 
I am replacing the sliding sheave on a SRX right now. I have the tools to take this apart, but as I started last night and began secound guessing myself. Are these normal threads or reverse (like the cat clutches)? Thank you!!
