Yamaha G1 Drive Clutch

[yler4cy]

I bought a Yamaha G1 from a guy the other day. The outside part of the clutch was taken off at some point in time and the washer with the keyway cut out of it was lost. I bought a new bolt with the regular washer and keyed washer.

Now my problem.

The guy put the bolt back in the inside part of the clutch, so "nothing else would fall off". With that being said, can you tell me how I get that bolt out without it turning the inside part of the clutch? Every time I latch try to turn the bolt, it just turns the clutch. I do not need to remove the clutch, so don't need the puller, I just need the bolt out to put the outside part of the clutch back on, the washer, keyed washer and bolt and it should be ready to go.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Isn't that bolt going into the crankshaft? If so, just hold the crankshaft while backing the bolt out.

I didn't want to mess up those grooves on the shaft. I will do that. Any insight on of there is anything special that I need to do while reassembling?

Swedish rope trick

if you do not want a piston to move or the crank to turn
fill the cylinder with rope thru the plug hole
soft nylon is good others will work
and rotate till stopped

on 4 strokes be sure to start near TDC on the compression stroke
so you don't bend a valve
2 strokes about 1/2 way up or better to avoid getting rope in the ports
