I have the clutch off my sled and need to re-install. I understand the manual says to use the clutch holder tool, but I don't have one. Is there another way to hold the clutch steady while I torque the bolt? Is the torque important or should I get the bolt snug with my impact gun?
 

I figured this one out. Since I have an original Yamaha clutch on my sled, there is a triangle on the face of the primary with 3 "flats". With a flat parallel to the bottom of the sled there is exactly enough space to slide a 12" 2x4 in there and prevent rotation of the clutch while I torque the bolt down.
