New to clutching, I removed the plug on the bellypan and took out the large bolt on the primary. Should the two fixed sheaved slide off as one? It won't budge, any suggestions.
 
Yupp and when U crank on it and pops it will sound like you broke it LOL but it will be fine
 
After you get a clutch puller, tip sled on its side and pour some water in the hole and screw in clutch puller.. The hydrolic pressure you create makes it come off so much easer....
 
Use grease. It,s a little messier then water but it creates a lot more hydraulic force to pop off the primary.
When all else fails you need nuclear heat on the inner shaft.
 
I had to replace a clutch puller that I just bought, the tip of the puller started to kink and rub on my treads so took it back and the dealer lent me one that was much much stronger. The mechanic told me to clean the crank stub and the clutch end with emery cloth and the put some never sieze in there and it will be alot easier to come off the next time

dunno as i would put anything on that taper, its designed to be a press fit. If if they dont come off, a little heat goes a long way.
 
Easy with the heat crank seals arn an a hole to change if your just trying to do clutch work. torque the puller down and tap on the clutch with a dead blow hammer first. That may do the trick.

Yeah,don't be puttin anything on the end of that crank,shine it up with emery and use a rag with brake cleaner to clean it and the inside of the clutch up but never grease it.
 
Same here, had to take the clutch off to do my rebuild. Needless to say I don't think that clutch had been off in 4000 miles+. Let's just say grease is the way to go.
 
I would be cautious on tapping it with a hammer. Very light taps and the most. The taps will transmit straight through to the bearings.

I have done it in the past (and light taps have gone to angry taps), but I am now wiser from doing such silly things.

Why hassel with the clean up when water works fine,, pressure is what it is... Have not had any slip past the threads, unless your theads are worn,, there's teflon tape for. But a bitch to clean when you can just let it drip out....(grease or oil)....
