Cant remove Clutch cover

[damobear]

Cant seam to unscrew the bolt that attaches the clutch cover, As there is no way of holding the cover its self still or getting enough presure on it so everything is just spinging and not un- doing, is there a special tool that needs to be used or some thing that i just aint getting (Duh), PLEASE GIS a Clue

take an open ended wrench and use the closed side, then hit the wrench with a hammer. unless you have air tools. eventually it will break the bolt free.

i do have air tools but no good either, wat i mean is i cant hold the drum thing still while un doing the nut, therefore the nut wont losen as i cant keep the bit still it needs to losen from, Does that make sense

 

[porsche930dude]

sounds like you need to hold the crankshaft from spinning probrobly by holding is somehow on the other end of the engine

Take the sparkplug out and thread rope into the cylinder. Then try to take it off.

think i am gonna try and find a strap or sumin i belive its called tomoz and see if that goes,
so guess these bolts are just mega tight in general then ?

That won't work, he's trying to take off the driven pulley. Did you try the ratchet strap trick I suggested on your other thread? What Crappyballer meant by air tools was an air impact wrench, if you had one you could just hold the clutch drum with your hand and it would zip the bolt right out.

 

[damobear]

yea i do have one, but it doesnt work, hold the clutch drum mega hard and it still slips thru, not sure if the compresser isnt powerfull enough or what, gonna go buy one of them strap things tomoz thou cheers

Oh whoops! I fail at reading.

Sorted, got it off, think the bits that are mashed are called the Gear Idle Tranfer and the final drive, Does that make sense ? irll get a pic 4 ya, but there is a huge chunk missing, what could have caused this ? is it sumin eles i need to look into or is it just pony chink parts ?

 

[damobear]

[freakboy]

HOLY **** thats chewed up like hell

 

[brendonv]

dang that thing is screwed. How did u manage to get it like that?

 

[damobear]

AINT got a clue, thats what i wanted to know, ive never actually driven this bloody thing as been silly prob after silly prob, read bck thru the thread if u want as its a long boring story, But yea, errr where was i ... oh do u think this happened because its just crap ? or cos wasnt looked after etc ? the buggy has only done 300 miles from new so dont get it ??

 

[toofarnorth]

I think your engine is a CN250 honda clone, so honda parts should fit it though I can't say if they produces those parts anymore.

 

[damobear]

got the bits and all sorted now i hope, gonna take her 4 a spin in a sec, just one other thing got the handbrake cable but its 2 long, is there anyway i can adjust the thing, its only about an inch too long any clues ? (the actual cable not the sleave )

 

[damobear]

cable

this is it

 

[toofarnorth]

You could relocate the bracket that it attaches to, to make up the difference. Or you could get a small piece of metal tubing with an inside diameter a little larger then your cable and use that the extend the sleeve, if you can't take the cable apart you would have to slice down the length of the tube to get it over the cable once you get it on the cable you could crimp it slightly so it won't come off the cable but not so much that the cable won't slide through it unrestricted. you could then wrap strong tape around the tube and the sleeve to make them one. I would then add another tube over that joint to reinforce it even more. Is that eye on the end of the cable crimped on or does the cable slide through it and just have a bit crimped on the end of it? So where did you end up getting your parts?
