im trying to take it off and do some tyranny maintenance (or to see if it's blown)

we let the clutch sit in liquid wrench for 2 weeks taped the 3 holes and tryed to pull it but ended up pulling the treads on one bolt.

looks grim for taking off

when i took mine off it was a pain in the a$$
took me 2 hrs with two breaker bar rachets

if i can find the photos u'll laugh

found them

i backed up the bolts so i wouldn't strip out the driven clutch

ok so I take it the driven clutch usually does not survive

it survived

so you pry it open and have nuts on the other side?

I only taped and used bolts

i drilled and tapped the bolts

u used the nuts with washers brazed on them because i was afraid of the bolts pulling threw

the thing went pop pop pop with every rachet of the breaker bar

That's a huge ass breaker bar! I must have been very lucky. Next time I go to my dads I'm pulling mine and recoating the shaft with never-sieze. Seems like such easy maintenance to spare these massive headaches. I think I'll be adding this step to my pre purchase inspection if I ever look at another one of these things.

Ya it sucked

Sanded it and lots of antisense

were going to try and use my uncles gear heater.

basicly it puts an electric charge over the metal heating it up.

Hello. New to the forum and hope this helps. It has worked for all the FL250 and FL350R driven clutches I have had to remove. Remove the bolt and washer that retains the clutch. Find a steel or brass sacrificial washer that has a slightly smaller diameter than the input shaft and does not contact the driven clutch. Lay the washer over the input shaft and use a air hammer with a flat tipped bit no larger than the washer to loosen and vibrate the clutch off. You may have to use a pry bar or large screw driver to apply some pressure to the inner side of the clutch hub to help it off the shaft. This has worked for me everytime with out damage to trans or clutch. Make sure you use some fine emery cloth to polish the input shaft and apply anti-sieze upon reassembly. After doing this, the next time I pulled the clutch, it came off much easier. Good Luck.

Just be sure you don't crack the transmission case when doing this. Use a block of wood or steel bar to straddle over some cage or a few points -- not just one concentrated spot on the case. Same applies to pulling a nail out of a stud on a sheetrock'd wall with a hammer. ;)
