Does anyone in north Texas have the tools necessary to do a clutch job?
Or do you have any suggestions on what other tools that can be used just as easily? :dunno:
It has been awhile, but I have seen tools made. I once used a piece of angle iron, drilled two holes in it and put bolts through long enough to hook into the clutch cage to stop it from turning.
Hey Brett, my friend Mark and I put a new clutch basket into one of my V65's last summer, and I don't remember needing any special tools? Was a pretty cut and dry installation??? Is yours slipping? That's what you get for trying to hang with my VMAX! :-P
Check out this video.. It's for the Starter Clutch, but may help you with your question on the Clutch...

I found this video for a "starter clutch repair" on a V-65 on another forum.. It's pretty good considering there is not audio, but does have text info thoughout the process
Does it seem close to the process for the Gen 3 as well???
If we can get permission, can we put it up on Tips and Tricks????

How did you get the lock nut off without a locknut wrench or custom fabricated socket?
not I haven't done a clutch yet but wouldn't an impact wrench take the nut off? My mechanic friend never used a special wrench. As far as holding the clutch basket I would just use a rubber bunge cord or an old leather belt. Those should give enough grip and you don't have to buy that I used once tool

The locknut is not a standard hex nut shape. It has square teeth on its perimeter which requires a socket with notched teeth to engage the locknut.
Is that a "Honda" thing?? I have done clutch work on a Yamaha and it was not that way. I just had to keep the assembly from turning as I broke the nut loose.

I can't say it's a Honda thing, but it's a V65 Magna thing. If you don't have the right "nutcracker" this one's not coming off.
