Hello guys. Been while. Been crazy winter for me. Finally need to get ready for spring. Last issue I had was with the starter clutch.
I got the case and everything off to the clutch. There is a castle nut that holds it on.
OMG, that sucker is on there. Have tried taking a pin and hammer and hit it inside the grooves, to break it lose. Not working. tried everything I could think of. last thing I tried was a pair of chanlocks. It was the best thing I could get a bite on. was lifting the entire cage and engine trying to break it lose. still didn't get it.
So Question. is there a special tool, to get that sucker off?
Is that nut aluminum? with the locks, the nut seem really soft.
If I heat up the nut, will that help? Or if I try to heat it up, is that shaft connected to some seals that I could dmg if I get it to hot.
And just to check my self. It is reverse thread correct?
