Finished me ironing :roll:

so was allowed out in the garage for a hour or so...

Split the cases....... had no chance of removing the clutch nut, it was well tight :evil:

so decided to remove shaft & whack it in the vice....

Took a good 10 mins persuasion with a 1/4" drive & extension bar.... :shock:

The output shaft had a worn spline where the sprox fits so swapped with a good'n.

The oil pump mesh was a bit dirty, but have seen much worse...

Just need to clean casings & paint with me PJ1

Then its reassembly c/w new cam chain, oil seals & gaskets. be a few weeks time but got a bit of enthusiasm now :lol:

1/4" drive ? Extension bar ? Vice ?

You wouldn`t be taking the piss out of a certain member from Bucks would you ?

Soft jawed vice......... Took me time & shifted it...

Tried it whilst engine in bike.... in gear, rear brake on & wheel locked....

All it did was strain the drive chain & cush drive and make the rear shox compress :evil:

No other option...... ain't got an air gun :cry:

but all turned out OK in the end, no damage to gears... :wink:

I`ve got an electric impact gun from Snap On. Superb !

The problem can be torquing up when you`re all done though ?

I did have a hub tool for my LC, same as a TZ, was brill`.

I wonder if anyone has one for our Zeds ?

Chris, take an old steel clutch plate. Bend a piece of steel into an L shape (this will be the handle) weld the short end of the handle to the steel clutch plate and Bobs your uncle, one clutch hub holding tool.
If you do the welding yourself it will only cost a couple of quid. If you get it made locally I'd imagine it would cost upto about Ã‚Â£20. Some people weld two plates together for extra strength but I've never had any problems with using one
Hopefully someone will post a pic or link to the type of thing I'm trying to describe.

Understand completely what your saying.......and an excellent idea !

Is it strong enough when your trying to torque up to 80ft/lb though ?

Chris, a lot of it depends on how much thought you put into the design but I've never had any probs. My most sturdy one made for a 750 turbo I had has the handle made out of steel bar approx 10 or 12ish mm diameter that is welded to the clutch plate in two places about 3 inches apart (picture a piece of bar approx 3' 6" long, bend it into a V shape with an internal angle of about 20 degrees then bend the 2 ends over so they are about 3 inches long and weld to the plate approx 3 inches apart).
Obviously the more plates you weld together the more the load will be spread across the hub reduceing the risk of damaging the hub when you apply the load.
If you want me to email you a pic let me know and I'll take the camera into the shed tomorrow.
The idea for this tool isn't one of my own. In fact I saw one advertised in the motorcycle press the other week with a RRP of Ã‚Â£70. Make or get your own made though. A lot cheaper than Ã‚Â£70
Hope this helps

Hi, been a while. On those 75mm pistons, i have a set of 75mm Arias pistons i picked up for Eddie but was advised that the standard gpz1100 barrell , which i presume you are refering to at 1089, cannot be bored to 75mm , leaving the wall thickness too thin, what do you think, cheers Hoppa

I`m not in the market for one just yet but after MaineKZ and Pigfords woes it occured to me that specialist tools are something the club might have ?

It can`t be too long before the world runs out of clutch hubs can it ?
