Clutch removal/install... Done... But EVR hub nut doesn't fit

[He Man]

any luck on just yanking it yet?

[mattc7]

Pull?

There's nothing else holding it on, just gotta slide it off.

The hub is only held on by that nut. There's no reason why it shouldn't come right out.  Put a spring bolt/cap back on opposing and use them to grip your fingers on if you can't slide it, but there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to

To help it along, you can spray a little WD-40 on the shaft at the spines to give it a little lube to help it slide and if it is stuck for any reason, lightly tap the hub with a rubber mallet at various points along its perimeter.

Why are you changing the clutch? That basket and hub look new.

[Amlethae]

Yeah no luck yet.  I'm changing the clutch because I've got a beautiful EVR slipper to put on and as frustrated as I get with this stuff, I really love working on cars/bikes.

I'll try the rubber mallet idea and the wd40... I also had the thought that maybe I'd put the pressure plate on it upside down with the spring-caps and use that to get a grip on the sucker.  So lots of ideas, we'll see where we get.

Thanks for the help! 

[Amlethae]

Alright, the pressure plate idea kind of worked... now I'm still stuck with the hub proper on the shaft... ugh

 Any ideas?

keep yanking, its just rubber backed piece. use a screw driver to persuade it if u have to, your not going to use that part ever again anyway.

[Amlethae]

Yeah... tried getting a screw driver under it... no go.  Tried using pliers on those fins, no budge.  Tried using the motion pro to clamp on the out edge down in the basket, no luck.  Tried heat on the shaft, no go.  Tried hammering, nope.

So I'm no where further along than I was .... this is a real pregnant dog. 

[Amlethae]

Seriously still stuck at this point.  What the hell is going on?  Everything I find says it should slide right off, but this thing ain't moving no matter what I do, seriously, not even a centimeter movement off the shaft.  Does anyone have any ideas at all?  Please please help! 

[mattc7]

since it's trash at this point anyway, drill it out.  I don't remember the last time I saw a clutch hub split without someone trying to split it.

cut it off!



Or, soak it in WD40, apply even more head, and see if you can wedge something between the hub and the basket to try and get the hub started.

I've never seen that get stuck before.

[Amlethae]

Well I got it off!  Yay!  I managed to use the Motion Pro holding tool to pry/push it out.  So I got the new EVR basket in... annnnnnnnnd now for the next problem:

The supplied EVR hub nut is too small for the shaft.  Photo:


On the left is the EVR supplied nut, on the right is the stocker.  Also the supplied washer is too small.

Is it bad to just reuse the stock nut?  Anyone know where I can buy just the EVR 25mm nut & washer?

Wonder what the next problem will be

re use the stock nut with red loctite.

[Amlethae]

Looks like the stock nut won't work because it's too tall.  The pressure plate buts right up against the nut and doesn't go all the way down like it's supposed to... so I'm going to need to get the proper nut... bugger!!  Ugh how fast can someone get me one???!


UPDATE: New one arriving on Monday *hopefully*

[He Man]

didnt u get this from belissimoto, maybe you should ask them whats up with the nut....maybe they sent you the wrong one.

This project is starting to sound like a royal cluster-makesthebeastwithtwobacks.  I hope it ends well.
