Default Help Can't get front clutch off

I can't seem to get the bolt out of the front clutch. Is it right or left hand threads? I dont have room to get my impact on it without using a extension and swivel or universal which ever you call it.
It will not break loose somebody help before I take a hammer to it.

Thank's LURCH!!!!!!!

Counterclockwise to take it off. If your real lucky, the "fixed sheave" will come off the crank, if not you'll need a special puller. Hope it comes off!

Well the real reason is I'm 6' 5" and about 310 lbs.

The clutches are off and one roller on each clutch has broke into and fell off. I'm doing two carts at the same time. How do you change them. Take a puller and separate the two pcs of the clutch or what??????????

The spider unscrews, if I remember correctly it is left hand thread so it's backwards. They use some pretty tough Loctite so heat is usually required to get them off.

There is no bolts or screws and the part I need off is the piece that opens and closes for lower gearing or higher gearing. This peice slides down into the other with like fingers so it want turn either way just in or out only. I'm thinking a three prong puller to hook the part I need off with the center bolt pushing down on the main part to push them apart. Hard to explain without seeing one.

That's the spider assembly, it unscrews from the shieve, and it is left hand threaded. The whole assembly turns off....
