Hello!
My clutch basket is a bit notched so I purchased a Hinson basket but I
don't have a clutch holding tool to hold it to get the bolt off. I've
never done this before and don't plan on doing it again so I'd hate to
break down and purchase the tool and I don't know anyone I can borrow
one from.
Anyone have a trick to hold the basket besides buying a specialized
tool?
Thank you!
Jim

I've heard you can take a fiber and steel and weld then together, add
a handle...
I guess you could make something like this too..

Thanks for the reply. That holder is exactly what I've seen offered
on various sites and I doubt I can replicate it. I can't believe that
everyone who buys a new basket purchases this tool for a one-time
install. RMD always seems to have guys who have cool tips and tricks:
a bit of PVC above your fork spring to increase stiffness rather than
buy a new sproing, when serviceing your shock, after taking off the
curclip, pump air into the valve to pull it out to get to the bladder,
etc. All ya gotta do with the clutch is get it to stop turning...
There has to be a way to do so with a bit on ingenuity...
Anyone???
Thanks again!

What have you tried? Can't you just put it in gear and stick a rod through
a hole in the sprocket (so you don't bend spokes). Or just apply the rear
brake. If you find a fold over washer in there don't leverage off anything
which might snap in the process of refolding it.

Yeppers, I use a 3/8" breaker bar, through the rear rotor and
sprocket, above (below?) the swingarm to use the swingarm to stop the
bar's rotation, and hit the nut with an air impact. Works every time.
Well, every time I remember to put the switch on the air impact to
spin the socket in the correct direction.
