Advanced techniques for removing driven clutch??

[IRCJB]

So.... what advanced techniques are there for removing a stuck secondary?

I went BB (20HP Kaw. & 94C) and must have pushed it over the edge. Worked great for a while and now wants to upshift too early or slip the belt under heavy load. The secondary isn't providing enough resistance to opening.

I've tried being nice getting this thing off, but it won't budge.
Would driving around with the bolt out be advisable?
Any ho'made pullers that can be fabricated?


What kind of problems will I be looking at once this thing is apart?

I guess everybody else removes the bolt, drinks a cup of coffee, and the clutch falls off?

Insert spray with pb blaster or liquid wrench between removing bolt and cup of Coffey.

So far, I've soaked with gearbox oil for a few months(leaking seal), penetrating oil a few days, driven around the yard with the bolt out, mild persuasion with a steel hammer, brisk persuasion with a soft face deadblow, cautious prybar grubbing, and a good solid cuss out.

Scabbed together a puller from old mower blades and some scrap.
I've put about as much pressure as I feel comfortable giving it; then backed it up with some hammer blows.

I'm running out of options that don't involve a cutoff wheel and a couple hundred bucks

I haven't applied heat yet since I'm not sure what I can get away with.

with the puller on and tight take a torch [oxy act or propanr] heat it up alum will souck up the heat add more tension and tap with a hammer,
if that dont work............... it prob gonna be junk so you know what to do .

Your puller looks good. Put it on tight. Load it up and slip a pickle fork in between the the clutch hub and the differential housing. Give it a whack. Hopefully that will do it without breaking anything! Do this at your own risk. I have had nothing but success with this method but you know there are risks involved....

I always use a pickle fork the clutch seems to jump off with it

Well; got the greenlight to take off the gloves.

Any tips for cutting this off with some degree of competency?
I'd like it to be more like a surgery than a spider monkey with metal cutting tools.

Did you use the pickle fork along with your puller? Just asking because with the 2 working together and a BIG HAMMER I would think it should come off also may have to apply heat as suggested. Other than that removing that aluminum cover is going to be quit a mess. Sorry but I don't see no way to be nice to it at this point. Drill a series of hole maybe across and then maybe an air chisel to break the case apart then you can apply direct heat to the steel sleeve and pull some more.
