Hey all- Looking for some advice. The KF82 in my cart is going out to J&M for a rebuild. I managed to get the flywheel off with a puller without issue. Followed some advice I found online for a homemade puller to get the primary clutch off and have now gotten myself in a tough situation. The rod I tried to use to push it off wasn't hard enough so it is stuck in the bore of the clutch and everything I have tired has failed to get the primary off. I am sending the whole thing to J&M but I fear because of my screw-up, that they may have to destroy the clutch to get it off the crank. If this is the case- are there any other clutches (more modern/easily accessible) that can be used in place of the original? I see an occasional original listed- but they want almost as much for that clutch as the rebuild of the motor will cost. I am not interested in doing a clone swap at this time. Any advice or guidance would help. Thanks
