CLUTCH PULLER BROKE TRYING TO PULL PRIMARY, now what

[ND]

I think that puller is probably bad... you should consider getting a new one...

JB weld should do the trick and it's much cheaper!

I've always just tightened up the puller. Then hit the puller with a sledge hammer a few times. then tighten some more and repeat. I've never had an issue, even with primary's that haven't been removed for 10 years.

Usually the best way to fix anything

I have always used 1-2 oz. dish soap its thicker and Teflon tape! Let the soap set up for about 1hr.make sure sled is on its side first of course.

here is the aftermath

uhm who calls that a clutch puller? lol looks cheap to me, what you want is a HARDENED steel puller,


but i can tell you this, always use the water trick if you have not taken your clutch off all winter... ALWAYS, its much easier and safe....

also aside from that, what probably saved your *** was the water pressure and the heat.... if you had water in that, and got it hot enough to maybe boil a bit it might of did the trick,


but hell, good thing its out!

That's funny. If it can't be fixed with a hammer then it can't be fixed period!

puller bolt

id bet when you tried to put water in it and use teflon tape you didnt get a good seal on it. also remember to buy the best puller you can, those cheaper ones break like dry twigs

If the puller bolt is still (IN) the threads where it is broken the water trick shouldn't work because there is nothing able to move or push the broken puller further into the clutch.
