[thumbsup] Is the basket one of one of the Monster Parts Ergal units?? Had mine on for around 13k now and the plates have hardly worn, and the basket is doing well . Great value I reckon. ;) ;D Title: Re: Clutch basket tool in Brisbane Post by: Palooka on February 05, 2009, 02:17:32 AM Sounds like a good excuse to buy an air tool!
I've got an EVR kit on the way. They claim 4 x better life out of the basket. Tipping point for me was when the clutch rattle got louder than the open Arrow pipes ;D Cheers P Title: Re: Clutch basket tool in Brisbane Post by: Palooka on February 05, 2009, 03:00:03 AM I thought I would need one of these
(http://carbon-trader.com/images/oberon/48t-clutch-tool-500.jpg) to remove the basket??? Are you saying the basket can be replaced without the tool to loosen it up? I'm told they're on pretty tight. Thanks Palooka Title: Re: Clutch basket tool in Brisbane Post by: Dannog on February 05, 2009, 03:37:10 AM I bought a rattle gun for my compressor to do the job from Autopro. Make sure you get a good one as the first cheapy I bought didn't have the guts to undo the nut.
I made the tool you've pictured and you'll need to hold the basket while you torque everything up. I made one from the old clutch plates and welded a handle onto it. It's a bit tough to do as the steel is hardened. There are some really good instructions on how to do this on the old DML. Dont know if they;ve been copied over but you should do a search Title: Re: Clutch basket tool in Brisbane Post by: Dannog on February 05, 2009, 03:39:42 AM I bought an STM 48 tooth kit on my old M900. Loved it. Way lighter as well and changes all sorts of things.... bit like adding a lighter flywheel.
