May 1, 201313 yr Hi Guy's, What's the best tool or method to compress the clutch spring to remove, and reinstall the pin's. are they under a lot of tension. Ive got a Haynes Bultaco manual showing a Sammy Miller Tool for the job, probabley expensive Cheers.
May 1, 201313 yr You can do it with two pairs of pliers. A normal pair to compress the spring and a needle nose pair to remove the pin. Yes they are under a fair bit of tension so the engine will have to be held securely if it is out of the bike so that you can push hard against the tension of the springs. If still in the bike, lay the bike on its side. Or make a "compressor" from a bit of tube, saw two slots in one end to fit over the pin, drill two holes opposite each other at the other end and put a bar through that you can hold securely as a T bar and push the tube onto the spring and compress it. Needle pliers to remove pin.
