So I have a 1978 AMF roadmaster and I need to replace the clutch on it I have gotten it down to the crankshaft nut But can’t seem to get it off. If I’m doing this Ryan can someone please tell me if not how do I go along with removing the crankshaft nut so I can get to the clutch?
I'm guessing that the nut is a left hand thread. Try turning it clockwise to loosen it.
Nope, didn’t work.
You're using a piston stop or an impact gun, right? The crankshaft isn't just spinning?
I’m using a impact gun with the engine lowered So it does not spin.
If that's enough to keep the crankshaft from spinning and the nut isn't moving, try some penetrating oil.
Update,
Got it off. Was. Normal thread pattern.
Also the clutch was non existent, pretty sure it’s asbestos too so I took extra care and mask and wetted everything up.
