In general I seldom ask to borrow tools and to most folks I make the ocasional loan. I need to ask a favor IF you have a clutch spring tool may I borrow it please? I will pay (re imburse you for freight) and as bad webb as witness will return it promptly after use, | ||

Oldog, If I had one, I'd gladly let you borrow it. The sad fact of the matter is that the last time I needed one I borrowed it from a H-D dealer that I was working at part time. Hopefully someone on the good ship BadWeb will oblige you as I can't. Good luck, 1313  | ||

I have one, ping me w/your addy. I can get it out this week, maybe tomorrow, although it's my day off and snowing right now so I'm going skiing in the a.m. | ||

Joe message sent Thanks... Hi Brankin! Any Idea if you are going to be able to make it to Daytona Yet? Thanks for the kind thought, I'm going to check on removing the spring plate, I have 2 new steels and a new friction (Message edited by oldog on January 31, 2007) | ||

"Oldog" If for some strange reason you and "Hippyjoe" can't connect on this matter, I have one you can borrow. | ||

Jim; if you need any other tools, feel free to contact me directly. If I have what you need you're welcome to borrow it. Henrik | ||

Don't forget that you can fab up a clutch tool pretty easily. I posted my pics somewhere here but I used a bar of aluminum and a ring cut from large diameter exhaust pipe. | ||
| Ragnagwar |
Just a tip, if you keep that spring plate and drill out a couple of the rivets, you can bolt a spare friction (drive plate) to it and you have a real handy tool to lock the clutch hub and the clutch shell together. Works great for installing main shaft nut. | ||

"Don't forget that you can fab up a clutch tool pretty easily." I'm pretty sure that's the whole point of this little charade. | ||

Thanks Ragna, Henrik, & Nate especialy about the clutch tool ragna great idea Nate: I hope that I dont have to do that, tried to improvise the fork seal driver near disaster, It looked like yours worked on the clutch my luck it would be a trip to the hospital, to have the clutch spring removed from my ........... Thanks All | ||

Tool's in the mail. Jim, I sent you the tracking info. If anyone needs to use it after Oldog I don't mind, as long as it gets back to me eventually. Joe | ||
| Oldog |
Thanks Joe, How was the skiing? I skii a little and am an expert at the rotating inverted free style face plant. | ||
| Hippyjoe |
Pretty good, thanks, a foot of fresh, had the chair all to myself, and I hit my stash 4 times before I saw anyone else. That's why I live in the sticks. Also makes it easier when you augur. Nobody sees you. | ||
| Oldog |
I should get the wheels back today or tomorrow had the tires mounted and balanced I dont have a tire changer YET I am going to look at the HF unit as we have a store here. so the arrival of the tool is likely to be about right. BTW what do I owe you for freight? | ||
| Oldog |
Joe the compressor arrived today, ( to many comics would have a field day with "the tool arrived to day" ) I expect to have it winging its way home to you by next week thanks much.. again what do I owe you for freight? | ||
| Hippyjoe |
Cool. No worries on the shipping, did you get my email? No rush, good luck w/the job. | ||
| Oldog |
last one I saw was the tracking # I will check tonight when I get home.. | ||
| Hippyjoe |
Jim, all it said was, no worries on the shipping, no rush on the tool. Have fun with it, I did. | ||
| Oldog |
clutch is done tool will start home monday thanks Joe.. | ||
| Hippyjoe |
That was quick. Did you go w/the Uly spring? | ||
| Oldog |
No I left it standard, now that I have looked at the tool I can probably make one up here, We have pipe, plate a drill press and torches / welders but I have got to ad mit that the tool that you loaned me is first class. I may change it later if it gets to be a problem. I bought a cable luber tool from Al and some cable lube, last year I left the cable lay on the floor over night and I noticed a huge difference in the operation, ( i attribue to oil in the cable ) Who knows Oh btw nice post on the mod, the spring plate is out, its not quite what I expected to find. The plates were in supprisingly good shape. It seemed like there was a lot of metal in the oil and on the drain plug I will likely pull the tranny at 30 K for a look and output shaft bearing check / replace. | ||

| Oldog |
