2014 Txt Clutch Removal

[nzpeterb]

I have a 2014 TXT 250 and want to remove the clutch hub and basket to get to the kickstart bearing.

I have the clutch centre bolt and washer out but even with a heat gun I cannot get the clutch off the shaft.

The parts book doesn't seem to show anything extra, and I know from experience the earlier basket just pulls off.

To I need to resort to more heat (a flame) or have I missed something?

Anyone have any ideas?

Regards

Peter.

 Seems like I saw someone with a later model pro having the same issue.. The early  years  needed prying out from both sides at once.

Thanks for the reply.

Heating it a couple of times got the basket moving slightly.

Then pushing the basket in and out slowly gained more play until the inner hub popped free.

It seemed a lot tighter than the 07 we also have.

Anyway, thanks again.

Next is knocking the kickstart bearing out.

i am trying to reduce the wiggle in the kickstart shaft which is way worse on the 14 than the 07.

Regards

Peter.

There is a tool for removing the clutch. GG part number T0118090

Or you can just go to the Bolt shop and get (from memory) a M18 bolt about 90mm long.

If you look inside the clutch centre you will see the internal thread. Wind the bolt into this and it pops the whole shooting match off.

Arnoux thankyou

[nzpeterb]

Thanks Arnoux.

I could not work this out until I got it apart as there is only two turns of thread and it was difficult to see.

The thread on mine is M18 x 1.50 pitch so Metric fine.

Hope this information helps someone else.

regards,

Peter.
