Rotor Removal Tool

[oskdan]

This could be a good article on the Garage section.
Has anyone come out with another smart and cheap way to pull the stator rotor out?, you see I really don’t have access to the so called "special tools", and I need to check the starter clutch, I've red about not using a three leg extractor that’s cool, and I don’t have the swing arm pivot bolt (I made my bike rigid) to use it as a slide pulley.
Please Advice [-o< .

This sounds OK

The summary on this thread sounds reasonable,,, Will a M16x1.5 bolt do the trick for an 82 GS750?
Thanks OSK

Rotor Removed

I finally did it I removed the rotor to fix the starter clutch, I used a 14M hardened bolt (8.8hard), and yes it took lots of strength, but it came out,, one thing though the starting thread on the crank got messed,#-o, I'm still figuring out how to fix it (only the starting thread), ideas are very welcome.

Going back to the starter clutch, the Allen bolts where so lose I took them out with my fingers, , threads between head and tip are stripped,
Qs:
Is this why clutch was slipping? (Loose Allen bolts)
Should I replace them? of just install back with locktight?
How strong the three little springs have to be? Should I replace those?

Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

DEFINITELY replace the old bolts with new ones! Order them from your dealer as they are still available. And, YES, loctite them & torque them in place. Also, if the damaged threads you are talking about are OUTSIDE threads you can buy a metric THREAD FILE to touch them up. If they are INSIDE threads, you can use a tap but be VERY carefull! The rest of your existing parts should be fine to reuse. Ray.
