Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

i'm having a heck of a time getting the nut off of the clutch outer on my 87 spree. trying to install taz's gears but that nut is the only thing stopping me. i looked at the tech docs and i don't have the parts to make the clutch holder

i tried wrapping a leather belt around the outer, putting a rope through the holes and wrapping the rope around the shock mount but it snapped it, etc.
i also wanted to use my oil filter grabber but it's a little small to wrap around. i thought about taking the spree off of it's stand and using the rear wheel to keep the clutch steady but realised that might break the stock gears.

any ideas? i'm limited on tools....

I use this:

Works for the front pulley too!

And i use big channel locks.

i used my 18v dewalt impact 1/4 in drive and my hand came right off.

i used a rubber strap wrench i bought from lowes, works for both front and rear pulley.

thanks for the replies guys

oh! and is the nut reverse thread? i'm pretty sure it's not, just want to be careful

Nope, just good ol' Righty-Tighty. It can be pretty stuck if it's never been removed. Honda-san says 29 Ft.-Lbs.
