I can't get this elfin thing off my 1198 now the slipper clutch comes wiv a flanged sleeve like item 16 here Now as I can't get the fecker off, is it the same depth? Is the flange only because of the dome washer? Can i leave the oem one on instead?
Ive gripped it with moles and tapped the shaft for hours and it still won't budge. Cant use heat because of the oil seals either. Can get under it either cos of same said seals. Its being a tart.
My spacer was a different depth, the o ring makes it awkward to remove but I managed mine by holding it with grips and emery paper to stop the grips slipping. Steve
emery...good idea clamp..good idea but i don't have a puller set either... i need a puller set...more tools...
Ah. Googled it. Trouble is Andy you can't get under it as it sits part way submerged beneath an oil seal.
can you get a jubilee clip on it and tighten it with a spanner from the side to give you something to lever against………..dont forget to lever both sides together as you may be fighting against yourself…...
Yes, Ive got some pipe clamps on order and a puller. In the meantime I've left it, drowning in penetrating oil, a few choice words and a shaking of the fist. The one on my 916 slid off easily. I wasn't expecting it to be so troublesome. Sods law or Nelsons Will. He is putting a hex on that damn clutch. I hope his footpegs fall off. :tongue:
Theres no room to drill, plus its hardened steel. Otherwise yes thats what i'd have done. I do have a contingency plan involving a dremel. I may grind slots in the side to get a purchase on it with the puller.
