The Pelican article on clutch replacement recommends using a screw driver. I tried that tonight without much luck. Is there a better option?

I had good luck using a cheap pick set from harbor freight, they also have specialty tools to pull seals.

get a seal puller, they're cheap and look like a bent screwdriver.

I surely don't want t damage the exhaust port! Seal puller from FLAPS; good as gold and likely under $10 For the copper exhaust gaskets, I first start with a good 90 degree pick. Often times just a tiny bit of the gasket is sticking out past the port wall. Carefully grab it with a sharp pick and you can tug it out. If that fails, I have a VERY sharp chisel that I slowly tap at an angle to cut through the gasket. You have to be VERY careful but it's not that hard to do and then it just pops out. When using a chisel near a motor, you can't wield it like a neanderthal!! |
