Hello,

I got this “tool” recently from someone.
It was made many years ago, the screw is stuck, the nut is not perfectly cantered or aligned,
The welding is crude, but the idea is great!

Many times the internal threads of the clutch sleeve are too far gone to be used, and I use a puller from the outside,
With a very limited access and a potential to cause damage.

I see this simple homemade tool for the first time and love the idea.
Yes, the plate has to be out for using it, but when we pull the assembly out, the plates are usually already out.
Anyway, thought to share, should anyone has a spare clutch nut and like to make one…

Cheers,
Noam.

Hi Noam...I'd like to see that, whatever it is...Photobucket won't do it any more though...I now use Imgur for loading pics to the forum...very easy...(It must be for me to do it:laughing: )....Ian

Hello dear Ian,

I have just mailed some 7 pics to your email.
(Last time my mails from this address made it automatically to your"Junk" folder,
So better check there- if you do not get it...)
I shrank the photos a lot to fit for the mail, but it is pretty clear.
If you wish, I can take more photos and send.

Cheers,
Noam.

With the "photobucket hotlink fix" you will be able to see all these photos again Ian.

Noam's tool will work ok but the welding job will make you cry. :sob:

Hahaha...:joy:

Yes Henk.
As mentioned, I did not weld it, just got it as-is,
But the concept is brilliant.
So simple and as long as you have the outer threads on the clutch,
It should work theoretically even better than the internal thread,
Which is shorter, if summing the total thread length, as it is internal and the diameter is smaller...:thinking_face:

BTW,
I tried to put in more photos when I put these ones, but instead I got a clock icon,
So I took it down.
I shell try what Ian and you suggested.

Cheers,
Noam.

Thanks for the pictures Noam...Yes, lovely welding indeed...Nevertheless a simple and effective idea which is probably better than the original puller...

I think I would also add a 'top hat piece' with a 1/4" shank and an outside diameter just below the root size of the main shaft thread...That could be fitted into the shaft so that the bolt isn't working directly onto the end of the main shaft thread...Ian

Or just insert a screw with nice shoulders into the shaft before pulling,
Like the service manual shows to do with the Engine Shaft pinion extractor.
Why do you have to be so "Scientific"?? :smiley: :yum:

Please, please send me pictures as well!

I've just taken apart my "6 spring" clutch on a B33 to find the clutch centre is a 4 spring Triumph type that is defying attempts to remove. My 1" 26TPI puller is stripped and while I'm waiting for a replacement any alternative ideas would be welcomed!

I need to get the centre off so I can deal with the gearbox that frequently refuses to shift and the engine that sounds like a bag of nails! I know what I will (if I can get the bloody clutch apart) be doing over Xmas!

Cheers
Pete

I've got a lathe...:laughing: ...Ian

I just Googled Henks suggested "Photobucket Hotlink Fix" and added it, and Noam's pictures have appeared. Took me about 10 seconds to do:slightly_smiling_face: Ron

It's official, I am computer illiterate.

I retract that previous email.

I am a computer legend......the images have just appeared.

If only crankshaft fixes were that easy.

You have to be using Google Chrome to get the 'hotlink'...It doesn't work with the 'plain' Google search...Or at least I can't get it to work...Ian

Hello guys.

Sorry for that.

I took Ian's advice and signed up to imgur
(BTW Ian, I liked your answer about the lathe..hahaha:sweat_smile: )

I hope everyone can see now.
Quite straight forward, and a proof that monkeys can weld too... :joy:







Cheers,
Noam.

Edit:
I have just checked and it works. Brilliant !
Should anyone need more photos, please mail me or say it here...

Bye! :+1:
