My brother was trying to get the clutch off a 96 zr 580 to rebuild it. Had the hole filled with oil and treaded the puller in. We tightened it and gave it a few light taps. Tightened some more and did that a few times. All of a sudden my bro was manning breaker bar and it started turning easy. Took the puller out and the threads on the clutch were stripped.
I hear just fire it up and ride it around, it will just pop off. Just don't spin it up hard.
I would put a new clutch on it when you get the old one off.
I havn't heard of that before.I have cut a clutch off a crank because of destroying 2 pullers. I took a sawsall and cut the outter shiv off cutting as close to the shiv as posible to make shure not to get the crank.Then cut down into the inner shiv to where the aluminum meets the steel in several places almost like spokes on a wheel.Then broke off chunks of the inner shiv till I could get a 4 1/2" angle grinder in on the metal shank locked onto the taper on the crank and ground till I broke thru to the crank, careful not to get the crank.Its very time consuming but you can get it off.(This was on a 94 700 wild cat.)
You could also try welding a nut on the metal shank of the clutch and use some all thread like your puller you would also have to weld a nut on the drive end of the all thread.I don't know if you ment grease when you said oil but pack with grease.
Either way I think you have to say goodbye to that clutch.
If you were closer I would help you out personaly because not every one has acess to all these tools.
For the spelling experts sorry if I didn't spell everything proper.
gee...did ya put to much oil in so she didn;t grab enough thread in the first place..??..anyway cheap grinder with cutting wheel...length ways cut as far back as ya can go and as close to crank as you can...light tap with chisal in cut and she should release...or cut two sides and split..
