clutch basket removal
gwcrim:
I thought about stopping the piston with rope but the inner basket drives the rear wheel and when the clutch plates are out the crank is not effected. I also tried to heat the nut with a torch and then hit it with the impact gun. No go.
Would it be tacky to take the bike to the local Kaw shop and ask them to remove the nut only? They're the ones who put it on so danged tight when the put the crank in it!
Danger4u2:
The nut you are trying to remove, is it on the crank shaft?
gwcrim:
No. It's the nut that holds the clutch basket assy. in. And when it spins the rear wheel turns, not the crank. The outer basket is turned by the crank. The inner (which is held on by the BIG nut) drives the rear wheel.

Know any friends in the automotive business? Anybody with an air impact that could just pop it off?

Can you snap a picture for us?
