400F clutch basket removal help.
« on: July 27, 2019, 06:22:06 PM »
Ack!!!
I need some advice on removing the clutch basket on my CB400F.
It’s been a few years since I have done this and can’t remember what the trick is.
I have the correct tool for the nut but can not keep the basket from turning.
I tried threading some bolts in and using a big screwdriver between them to keep everything from turning and ended up breaking the threaded stud on the clutch basket center (22120-377-000), ugh!!!
I also tried using an old school impact driver with little success. I do not have access to any air or electric impact drivers.
I looked in the Honda service manual to see if there was a special tool for holding the basket in place and it refers to a CB350F clutch basket, which uses a clip instead of the nut.
So if you have advice, and/or a replacement part for me I would love to hear from you.
 
Picture reference for how NOT to do it ;-)

Thanks Bodi!
I put some liquid wrench on the nut, went to lunch and read your suggestion. Went back and put it in gear and stuck a ¥10 (copper) between the gears and the clutch springs (3 out 4) installed with washers to keep the tension.
It busted loose - yeah!

Thanks again for the help!

Thanks!
Have you used these before?
Even though I am done now I might just buy one so it will be easier next time.
