Your screwed probably

Always use the water, clutch bolt, pipe tape trick

Clutch pullers are only good for 100 lbs, the clutch bolt is tightened to 85 ish, but heat makes it tighter

Boil a kettle of water and pour it on the centre and back half of the clutch. It will probably fly right off. A buddy did the same thing with my puller.

 

[ZIG]

Ok. i will try that.

This is a very exciting situation. I hope it works. Great summer entertainment. I haven’t broken a puller yet but I know it’s coming. Cheers to low gears!

Is the bolt broke off flush or above the clutch? If so weld a washer on the bolt then a nut to that washer. Make sure the washer is bigger around then the nut, that way you can plug weld the nut and get a bit on the outside to it way tougher than just a plug weld

Its broken far in

Any of the internal clutch threads showing
to be able to use the water trick?

That wont work with the puller broke off in there already. It needs the water pushing on the crank stub.

That will only work if the puller is say 100 ftlbs before it broke

I have also done this before with the puller in there and tight



But only use the water and bolt trick now, not worth wrecking your clutch

Might have to try the old left hand drill bit and easy out...

Most likely your only option

stuff a deadblow hammer or rubber mallet between the clutch sheaves and beat on it while heating where it mounts to the fixed sheave to try and get the moving sheave off. Cut some wedges out of wood and stuff them between the back of the fixed sheave and the crankcase/cylinder drive them in with a hammer while heating the fixed sheave stub. Worst comes to worst if you can get the sliding sheave off you can cut off the fixed sheave.

Heated 3 kettles of water dumped water wear the belt rides 3 swings with a rubber hammer and the whole thing came off. Got a needle nose plier and threaded the broken piece out. Thanks for all the suggestions. Now i need to split it in half seems very tight any ideas. I stuffed another puller in the end and tried banging it on some concrete but she won't budge.

Yeah just thread the puller or bolt into through the sliding sheave and into the fixed sheave and bang it on concrete. You'll have to smash it harder than you feel comfortable, that's normal. Well, normal for TRA junk.

You don't bang it on the concrete you drop it. Just keep going higher until it works. Usually a foot is enough. Maybe boil more water lol.

I got it split just hit it harder. Thanks again for all the tips.

I imagine a shot of Gibson's was in order once you got it all apart.

 

[kanedog]

I will smoke a fatty in honor of your victory!

 

[ZIG]

It sure was. Next time it will be the water trick
