When is the last time you needed a 1" impact and a service truck to remove your clutch. I beat on it all day with everything 1/2" Mac, IR, Snapon. Couple wraps with the 1" and she was laying on the floor!!
I've used the grease down the hole method successfully before, but I'll be trying the hot water idea next time. Way easier cleanup!
By hot water, I meant pouring hot water over you shives while you have tension on your bolt/puller. The shives exspand with the heat and pop off.
When 162skidoo couldn't get his clutch off I just told him to give the removal tool a smack on the end with a hammer it popped right off with one hit.
Isn't that why the tools are made with an end similar to the top of a chisel?

yes...IMO. the teflon tape and water in the bolt hole is the most gentle way to remove a stuck primary.I don't have a clue, but am just going to throw this out there.
Wouldn't a hit on the end of the crank with a hammer be harder on the bearings than using a big impact which puts natural rotation on the crank?
