want to borrow clutch holding tool

[WAZ]

I've never used a clutch holding tool, this is how I do it. Clamp 4 steel and 3 fibre plates together using 2 pairs of mole grips, don't clamp them too tight or you may damage them. Then lock the primary drive and clutch basket gear with a penny then undo/torque up nut. I have used this method on many bikes, and never had a problem

You lock the primary drive (Crank) gear and clutch basket gear with a penny, being copper it is soft so shouldn't damage the gears (If you look in the pic you should just be able to see the penny). Alternate the (4) steel and (3) fibre plates (steels on outside), with these clamped together they lock the clutch inner to the basket. The torque setting is 60nm or 44ft-lbs. I got these figures from a torque table some where on this site.
