I don't know how you guys pull the driven clutch but this is how I do it.

There are several ways to do this job but this is the easiest in my opinion. But it's still a "job".
It wouldn't come off the first day because I used no lube. All I did was spray the back near the seal and around the front a bit and let it sit overnight.

The other things are:
1) You have to put nuts on the back side of those three bolts that hold the puller on or you will just pull the threads out of the aluminum. That's actually a difficult job because the clutch barely opens up enough for these backing nuts. You can use a couple of wooden wedges to assist in opening. Sometimes you will pull the thread out before you get the clutch open all the way. That's what happened to me on one of the holes. Use a wedge as well.
2) That main piece I used is 3/4" approx thick. You need the thickness to tap the pusher bolt hole. You can use thinner metal but then you have to weld a nut on.
3) Don't get rammy and use heat. You will destroy everything and it's not necessary. Relax. The "one try - two try - torch" philosophy is for things you're never gona use again.
4) Quite a bit of power is needed to get this thing off. I was using a 1/2" impact gun on maximum. The pusher bolt is 5/8". If you think it's not going then use more lube and let it sit for a night. Use lube on the pusher bolt threads as well. Don't forget to put a bolt in the trans shaft or you'll destroy the threads.

Sorry bud. I have never had much difficulty getting mine off. I didn’t need to put nuts on. But I definitely see the advantage of it with one that is stuck bad. Best thing is the anti seize on the shaft before you put it back on.

Note to self:
Don't put small bolts on with a 1/2" impact set on maximum.
LITTLE DUMMY.

This stuff is already on PO.com but it can be hard to find. The search box works pretty good but sometimes you have to do a lot of digging.
PO is not set up like I have my files set up on my computer. I have an oddy folder and in it is folders for each system like suspension, Engine, transmission and in there is sub folders. Very easy to find stuff.
That would be almost impossible to do here because you would have to police each thread and make sure it's in the right place. Not very practical. But the search box works well in my opinion.
In this case I bet fully posted his puller set up but I didn't even bother to look because I had tunnel vision. A sickness I suffer from sometimes.

In your vid looks like one of your reverse slippers is missing?

Yes your right and that's one of the reasons I took it off.
One was missing and the other two were coming out.
Then I had a closer look at this clutch when I took it off. I noticed that the reverse cam face was not even touched by the slipper and the two that were coming out were like new. The reverse face of the cam still had road dust on it and NO wear at all. That was telling me that the reverse slippers never engage. When we use reverse (which is not very often) we back up slow so that you don't fall off a cliff or something (no lie). I think they would engage if you mashed the throttle but that don't happen around here if you value your life. So now I am experimenting. I did not install any reverse slippers. I think it will work fine in my opinion. You guys can shoot at me for this but then you have to provide some evidence to back it up.

I don't recommend leaving out the other 3 slippers on the driven. They are there to stop the cam from rotating when at max RPM, basically they are the backstops. You'll be mashing aluminum to aluminum without them.

To be honest the only reason I realized this was because of when I lost that single slipper in the wild and happened to find it. It was the other 2 slippers that had taken the brunt of the cam rotating into them when at top speed. They had clear flat spots and one even had a tiny bit crack and flake off of one side. They did this because the load wasn't distributed evenly across all 3, it was smooshing more on just the 2, and kind of pushing things towards the missing slipper, if you will.

I don't have any good shots of them though :-(

If you slip your driven back together without the spring in it, and try rotating the faces the way they normally would, you'll see what I'm talking about.

Maybe I can make this my molehill to die on? You grumble about AvGas, I'll grumble about 'Put all yer damn slippers in'! :-D
