clutch basket removal

(1/7) > >>

gwcrim:
I'm trying to remove the clutch basket from our KX85.  I tried my weak and tired impact gun to no avail.  A good one might work, but mine is a POS.  Any other ideas?

alan:
Are you sure it isn't a lefty thread? Heat it with a hot air gun! Get a bigger impact! All else fails air chisel!

Good luck! :roll:

gwcrim:
How do I know if it's a lefty or not?

alan:
check manual, If you can see the thread you can tell or if the rotation is such that if would unscrew it self during normal running it would  normally be left hand.

Alan :-)

GW, I called House of Kawasaki in OKC because I don't have a book for the KX85.  Service told me it will be Right hand threads.  Like Alan says look at the threds and make sure.  I would use my torque wrench and set it a little higher than the factory setting. That way if you are going the wrong way it will click before you over tighten it to much, then try it the other way.  Let us know what you find.
