Clutch Centre Nut removal

bolt a couple of old inner and outer plates together and incorperate a length of steel for a handle, simples Kind regards

Always good to have the right tools butI have always put the bike in top gear, with a good fit 1/2" drive socket(22mm also fits mine) and long tee bar/breaker bar ,a spanner on the rear brake arm nut( with foot providing the 3rd hand), a hammer to give the bar a whack if needed. The book says 70 footpounds but the hub/spider stop is not really strong so I think 50 footpounds plus locktite is enough. You may well need the proper threaded hub puller , levering behind the drum is a no no. A pukka engine sprocket puller only just managed to get the engine sprocket off, A commando one won't work unless you drill and tap the sprocket .

With the bike in top gear and the back brake held (footed?) on, a socket, a bar and a hammer to get the nut started and you won't have any problems.

To keep both hands free, tighten the brake adjuster until the brake is locked on.

Barry I have just read your profile and see you are a member of AJS/Matchless club, the tool you require is the same for all AMC type clutch, isn't there any AMC member local to you who has one, I'm also an AMC club member and I have one hanging in the shed, [won't an AMC holder have a couple of worn plates Ive loads of the boogers?] as Clit Eastwood would say 'you gotta think laterally' unfortunately I'm oop in Kent bit to far for you to come borrow it I'm afraid kind regards
