How to free clutch boss nut

[uvatv]

Hi, I just need to replace my blaster crankshaft seals an bearings and to do so I have to take out all the clutch components and so on, I don't have the special tool to make the clutch boss still while loosing the nut, how can I do it without that tool? (I already FU#$% up the clutch boss trying to holding it still). :">

hey this prob. aint the right way but i used an impact gun and it worked good for me

the problem is that I need the clutch boss to stay still and theres no way to pry it so I can't turn the nut without the the clutch boss keeping turning; and thanks for your reply

i used a big vice grips plyers(im sure you have a pair) and locked it on the shaft where the sproket goes. it worked for me. you dont need to hold it, you just put it on and if your taking it off, let it turn all the way up and just let it sit against the spot on the case.

i know but the impact spins faster then the boss spins and it comes off here watch this video it will help u just fast foward to were hes in stalling the clutch and just do the oppesite to remove it

I will try using the impact gun and the vice grips to see if I can take it out I really appreciate your support guys, thanks

i learned the hard way, i broke the clutch basket, and the clutch boss, and then i had to pay $250 to get a new one, so im in same situation as you

rocky mountain atv has a tool for that
its called the "tusk clutch holding tool" its $15 it worked on my rm 125 and its supposed to be universal so it should work on the blasters

I wrapped a strap around it several times and pulled it snug and used that to hold it still it took a couple tries but it worked for me

you can put a nickel in between the main crank gear and the balancer gear.

Or just get the right tool, for the job I always recommend this.
