do I really need the clutch holding tool (ST25104) to replace the clutch? I have the puller (ST25099)

Hello DEAN --------- you'll need to restrain the clutch inner assembly when you torque-up the main centre nut... You can make your own locking plate by joining an old driver and driven plate together (Bolt, braze, weld---)making sure they are cenralised..

Alan - will get the holder as I;m not that handy
thanks, Dean

Back brake hard on does it for me

[John R]

Can't remember how i did it but a didn't buy or make any special tools.

To amplify the advice from Beezabryan and John R, put the gearbox in top and the rear brake hard on. That should be more than enough to stop the clutch mainshaft turning.

Indian method, shove a rag into the chain infront of the clutch basket on the bottom to undo the clutch nut and to tighten the nut they shove the rag into the top of the basket under the chain.

----------- or a bit of 2 x 1 softwood does the same.
