How does this clutch tool work?

Hey there...

I picked this up thinking after I put my HC's on I can tweek the weights without taking off the primary...however..what I thought would be straight
forward kinda has me scratchin my head...so curious..how does this work?..where do I place it?...or is it useless with the Heel Clicker Red spring?...

Remove the U shaped piece from the handle. Place the forks in behind the spider and compress the spring. As you hold the spring compressed, place the U shaped clamp over the two sheeves to hold them together. Remove the fork tool and bingo, now you can change the weights.

Gotchya...I'm hoping that lil U shaped clamp is strong enough on that Spring...

don't use with heel clickers. the high tension springs will bend or break the sheave when the clamp is attached.

Turks method of compressing the H/C springs is the use of a threaded rod with a washer and nut at each end, then just torque it down.

No Probs ExpertxViper...I actually did that on the weekend with Turks compression tool...works awesome!!...I thought maybe I could leave the clutch on the sled and just
take the weights on and off with this lil tool...no probs...thought I'd ask...

cheers
