I have a 97 Vmax SX 700....it has a comet clutch on it and one of the faceplate bolts is broke off. I need to remove it and don't know what clutch puller to get.
On the face of the clutch this number is stamped on it...17503-04246 No other numbers or stampings on clutch face that I can see..
I was told that since it has a comet clutch on it I needed a specific puller and can't find any comet info on the number I have...
Thanks

Run to the hardware store and pick up a bolt that is the same thread as the end of the clutch (same thread as the puller, but you may have to guess at the threads or take good measurements, I'm sure it's fine thread not course).
Tip the sled on its' side so the clutch is facing up enough so that you can pour water, oil, or grease into the end of the clutch/crank. Fill almost to end but leave enough space for bolt to engage half or more of the threads so you don't strip either the bolt or clutch. Wrap the bolt with teflon tape so it seals to the clutch threads, will take quite a few wraps. Tighten bolt into clutch until clutch pops off due to the hydraulic pressure. If stubborn, hit the bolt head with a hammer and keep tightening. If using water it is less messy and can be left to freeze & expand overnight helping to pop the clutch, but alot of people have better luck with grease/oil. You can tip the sled down anytime after the bolt is installed to keep the liquid in, if using grease don't need to tip sled up unless you find it's easier.
