Re: Diy clutch puller?
I tried the dyi method, broke it off in the hole and had to easy out it to remove the broken part. I would spend the money on the tool. Inexpensive in the long run.

Re: Diy clutch puller?
Then you can fabricate it. It's just a glorified bolt with left-hand threads. I was just sharing my negative experience with my diy puller attempt.

Re: Diy clutch puller?
I use a 7/16 fine thread hardened bolt with about inch & a half of thread, (normal thread) with a 6in 5/16 diameter hardened shaft, works great. you will need to make depth adjustments to the shaft, the shaft I use is similar to a push rod from a engine but it is solid hardened steel slightly rounded on the end and 6 inches long.

Re: Diy clutch puller?
Clutch threads are right hand.
As above, use a 7/16" fine thread grade 8 bolt about 1-1/2" long. Cut the head off of a 3/8"x6" grade 8 bolt and grind the threads down at the other end so you have about 1-1/2" of shank that's narrower than the rest. Use grade 8 hardware or you will strip the threads off or snap the head off the bolt in the clutch. |

Re: Diy clutch puller?
I saw a trick on the internet, and I didn't think it would work but it did. I used water. I had the engine out and turned it up on it's side, filled the bolt hole with water then ran the 7/16" fine thread bolt in. It didn't work, I was forgetting something. I couldn't remember, then it hit me; Teflon tape. I put some Teflon tape on the bolt, ran it in with an impact and it popped the clutch off. Amazing, I never thought it would work.

I've heard of using No. 2 grease with the same results

Re: Diy clutch puller?
Grease or water works same principle you "can't compress a liquid" that being said water is better easier to clean up and when you reinstall clutch you want it dry/no grease or lube if it has left over grease the clutch slides easier on the tapered shaft and could potentially split the clutch
