remove wet clutch from 620ie without special tool how?

[DarkMonster620]

I've been using Repsol Moto 4T Synthetic in 10W40 and never had issues . . .

Don't know if this helps, but below is the APTC clutch (1) assembled, (2) with factory tools installed and nut removed, (3) parts off bike.

Thanks for the pics! Definitely helps for reference. Can I ask which solvent you used to clean it? Brake cleaner ok?

read in my recent thread about 'rock hard clutch lever' on techniques to remove/retorque the clutch hub nut.  no special tools other than a 2x4.

Be smarter than me when reinstalling the spring bolts or you'll snap some of them off.

Clean it??  That's the natural look after wiping down.  Regular oil changes self clean internally!

Well, I'm going to be doing the wet clutch securing nut thing with red loctite. I figure I would want the thread surface cleaned

Yes, you definitely want to degrease and dry the threads of both parts prior to Loctite application and also give ample time for curing.  Any old volatile no-residue cleaning solvent will do, such as brake cleaner.  For the record the factory procedure calls for grease and not Loctite, but these nuts have a habit of backing off.  I found mine little more than finger tight when I went in the first time.  I described the Loctite method that I used somewhere in an "s2r 800 clutch" thread if I remember correctly.  I made my adhesive selection after reviewing numerous product sheets and talking to some technical people at Henkel/Loctite.  It's held up well so far...
