remove your primary bolt and put your sled on it's exhaust side. fill the bolt hole full of water, then wrap your primary bolt with a few wraps of teflon tape. the yellow gas line tape works the best, but white will work as well with an extra wrap or two. make sure to wrap the threads clockwise (looking down on top of the threads with bolt pointed upwards) and thread the tape wrapped bolt into primary bolt hole filled with water. use an impact (it will not rattle the crank because there is no metal to metal contact like using a puller) or just a ratchet and socket if you have no impact. the primary will pop off with a bang that will almost make you chit your pants.


I know this was posted 3+ years ago, but my husband was trying to get the clutch off without a puller and struggling, so I googled and found this suggestion. He didn't believe it would work when I told him, but we tried it and the clutch popped right off... I think he actually did chit his pants! Thanks for the tip!!!!!
