CAUTION!!!! The clutch bolt is Left hand thread! The puller is right hand thead!

Also an impact wrench is required to pull off the secondary as there is no way to hold it without a tool.

I made my own spring compressor for the secondary and you need a pick to get the buttons out of the secondary. Otherwise it was pretty straight forward.

I pulled out the thin spacer and it didn't seem like much when measuring the deflection...but there is no slippage felt in any gear at take off. ****I also wiped out some grease that came from the electric brake assembly....maybe this is why most people are feeling slippage even at new? If that grease continues to give grief I might have to take that assembly apart and clean it.

Hopefully some of this helps you guys out. It took about 3hrs, but I had taken too much plastic off and I had to make the extension up.
I was doing my breakin after installing my Fundy Std Bore kit and on my third long pull up a hill to break it in the belt said f@ck this and broke. I come back and had a clutch puller for a KFX 700 and got down to the clutch and it fit, but was a little short. So I tried a 9/32 socket taped on with electrical tape and got the clutch off. Now I have a mess. The socket is stuck in the threads for the clutch bolt (which is Left handed). I got a 1/4 inch socket extension in the end of the socket and tried turning it out, but the clutch shaft turns when I turn it. I have JB welded the extension into the socket and will try to spin it out tomorrow with an impact. Any other ideas would be appreciated. I just remembered someone mentioning this and when I ran into problems I found the thread and saw he used an extension and not an actual socket. I was planning on going to MudstockOK in Sparks this weekend, but I am screwed right now.
