  • Patent number: 5367927
    Abstract: A clutch removal tool formed of an elongated member having a center portion with opposing semi-circular portions. A hole is formed in this center portion for engaging over the pushrod adjusting screw of a motorcycle clutch assembly. The clutch removal tool also includes opposing end portions tapering inwardly away from the center portion. The length of clutch removal tool enables the end portions to make contact against the clutch assembly spring collar without interference with the spring tension adjusting nuts. In use, the clutch removal tool is installed over the pushrod adjusting screw. The end portions engage against the spring collar. The pushrod adjusting screw locknut is tightened against the clutch removal tool. This releases the pressure against the spring tension adjusting nuts. The spring tension adjusting nuts can be easily removed without interference from the clutch removal tool. Once the spring tension adjusting nuts are removed, the pressure plate assembly is removed.
