collet by its self losa 9376


If you have to hold the crank from turning Imo you should use a crank locking tool like this one.crank locking tool

This is exactly why I do not use locktite on the flywheel nut. I've never had on come off. I just tighten it super tight while holding the flywheel like Doug mentioned. If you do locktite and have to lock the crank the worse thing you can do is put all that extra force on the rod. Again just my opinion.

This tool has helped tremendously when screwing on the clutch nut to get it good and tight with no loctite. Worth every penny.

Dunno if you'd call it a performance upgrade but atleast u'd never have the metal one let go like this...

You not going to get enough torque using that dinky t-handle. I use a 8mm 1/4in drive socket wrench with blue locktite. To hold the flywheel I use a adjustable wrench to grab the flywheel on the square part. This is the best method i've found so far.
