Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

Are you replacing a starter clutch? I tried to fab one from angle iron and bolts-it BENT! If you need to get that nut off-I used an impact wrench I bought cheap at Harbor Freight. Hope this helps. BTW Earl made some kind of glorified oil filter wrench that worked for him.:?Comment

Sure!. :-) I bought a 2 x 4 at Lowes. Cut a 4 ft length and a 2 ft length to make the "wrench. You will also need two 12" lengths of 3/8" threaded rod, 4 washers, and 4 nuts. Lay the 4 ft piece of 2 x 4 on the floor. With the 3 1/2" wide side up, lay the 2 ft piece parallel and even with one end of the 4 ft piece.
Leave a 2" space between the two pieces. Draw a circle the diameter of the rotor with its center in the two inch space. Cut out the circle with a jigsaw.
Drill a 3/8" hole through the 1 1/2" thick surface of the 2 x 4 on each side of the circle you have cut out. Insert the threaded rods, place washers and
nuts on the rod ends. You now have a 4 ft long wrench with a circular jaw that fits the rotor. Turning the nuts on the threaded rod tightens the wrench jaws. The handle is long enough to rest on the floor, so you will not need anyone to hold the wrench. Cost was less than $5.

Making a rotor holder
Keith,
You've probably long since done this, but I'm trying to post a photo I promised a month and half ago. th_rotorholder.jpgGS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ESComment

I somehow wish I knew why without asking, but....
Why do we need a fixture for holding out rotors? Feel free to roast-away!Comment

The rotor holder is to hold the stator rotor when needing to repair the starter clutch which is behind it. If you cant stop the crankshaft from moving, even an air impact wrench will not loosen the hold down nut on the crankshaft end.

Is it not possible to put the transmission into 5th gear and have a helper step on the rear brake?Originally posted by earlfor View Post
Obviously, I have never had to to this, but that is what I would do for a first attempt. 8-[

Actually, an impact wrench took mine off very nicely, but my crankshaft is the bolt type, not the nut type so that might have made a difference.
You might have some success with the gear 'n brake method, but it's a hassle and that bolt (or nut) is really on there, think 135lb-ft plus having been there a really long time.
I think the rotor holder would be beneficial, especially a cheaply made one like was posted. The "factory recommended" tool can cost upwards of $60. Just like I used a $3 bolt to remove my rotor from the crank instead of the $30 "recommended" tool. I still haven't had a chance to install my rotor/starter clutch assembly, so I may make a rotor holder before I attempt it. I do know that trying to hold the crank steady, even with the friend helping, while trying to correctly torque the crank bolt (or nut) is a royal PITA. Just wish I had a chop saw and drill press, trying to cut and drill a large C-clamp by hand is going to be fun......Comment
