Hoping to strip the clutch on my 998 again ! ,but this time pull the basket out ,is there anything strange i should know Nut size's would be helpful , i have pulled the plates out & cleaned twice already but this time is gonna be a full strip out in prep for a new clutch ( Slpper maybe !!!!!)

Thanks !

I think the clutch drum nut is 32 or a 34mm, I am pretty sure it's a 32...

The hardest bit will be getting that bugger off, dunno what the standard clutch torque setting is, but the slipper needs 195ft/lb torque from memory

Youll need a proper clutch drum holding tool!!

Made out of an old set of friction plates, a welder and a piece of bar.

32mm socket for the clutch centre nut and a 13mm on for the basket ones.
You'll need a holding tool as already suggested. Torque on the centre nut is 186Nm, the basket bolts are 33Nm(?) Use loctite on them all.
If you fit a slipper, depending upon brand, the new centre nut could be a 30mm jobbie.

Aint got an old set of plates !!! ,this will be the first set managed to get 7.5tho miles from the oe ones with regular stripping & cleaning !

Anyone got an old set no longer in use i could use to make a tool ,will cover any costs ????

Ive got some old plates kicking about if you still need some.....

Nice looking tool 748mart. but it won't hold the basket. If you were to sandwich a couple of old frictonplates between them, then it would.

Toto I've a factory clutch holding tool you are welcome to use. The only problem would be the postage. It cost me £30.00 and it only travelled 10 miles or so. Its about 3 or 4 ks

Thanks all

Jon do you have any pics ,if i could get a lookie at it i might be able to make my own , if it looks possable then the pastage would not be a problem , failing that i could make one using old plates
