DIY Clutch Boss Tool

[JPMartin86]

I built this tool to hold the clutch boss in place while i loosen the nut to get it out of the clutch basket.

What i used was 1" wide steel stock and drilled two holes 2.5" apart from each other. I then used 1.5"M10 nuts and bolts that will fit snug enough in the clutch boss teeth that it wont damage them.

If you can see in the pic I have yellow dots showing where the bolts will slide into, it gives you more than enough space for a socket to get the nut out.

thats a good idea but a rag in the gears works well also, alot of people use rags to do this

I tryed doing it with a rag but I couldnt get the leverage by myself, and my good friends were watching the Celtics and didnt want to help haha

Sticking a penny in the gears works excellent.

pennies aren't all copper no more.

Either way it still works. And they are still softer than hardened steel gears so they wont eff anything up.

To get it off, I use a quick blurp with a impact wrench. Mine come right off without the counter-leverage. I use a copper penny or aluminum spacer in the gears to torque it back on.

Yip penny's do work well! Ya may want to use a rag too with your set up as those bolts could put bur's on the aluminum. But aleast ya did it yourself!!
