When I did my clutch I put the bike in 1st and got someone to hold the back wheel.

Bit of a struggle but it worked for me.

And the nuts are anti-clockwise to slacken.

Hi,

Dont take the risk! A clutch basket is expensive to replace when all you need is two strips of metal plate with two holes in each to hold the basket.

from what I can recall it cost me about 60 quid for the basket.

I picked up some pre-drilled steel plate from somewhere that worked a treat.

Simple bolt the end of each plate to one of the lugs on the basket and then the other end of each plate together.

You could buy the steel plate from somewhere like B&Q and just drill the holes out with a domestic drill - easy and really satisfying to make your own tool.

Excellent tip Bargos,much better if acommpanied by photo's...if possible please.
Mikey what part has worn out?
If you have to remove the basket it's very difficult the first time(I used \"C\" clamp grips on mine),after the first removal it's usually easier.
Done mine last week.
