I stared at that clutch for a month trying to figure it out. I knew this was was the way but I was trying to figure out an easier method. Plus it took a while to find the threads. I was shocked it was metric.

I’m sure there are other methods but this was the simplest design. No reason to over think it. I’ve used my tool 2 times. Worked both times. That’s the reason I made the post. Not a single person on the internet has ever mentioned it, that I can find.

Remove clutch bolt.
Take the nut off the Clutch.
Remove the bell and clutch moving sheave
put a Thick washer on threads
Put the NUT back on
screw clutch bolt part in
and pull against it with pitman arm puller.
Easy.
If ya need pictures I can do that.

You can actually make things even easier than this. I simply bought the M20 bolt and made a 6 inch metal dowel (1/4 in. diameter) and use things like that. There really is no need to fuse the two. I just remove the clutch bolt, drop the dowel into the hole, then screw the M20 down. A hammer drill makes this simple. The clutch pops right off and the dowel will drop right out of it.

There was a need to do it on mine. Again I had no internal threads. The last couple years of these used a different clutch and do not have internal threads. I would have much preferred to do it your way but it’s not possible on mine.

Yep he missed the "NO Threads" part

Bump up for anyone having the newest style clutch without internal threads and cannot use the traditional methods.
