Does anybody out there have a Norton clutch locking tool they could lend me, or alternatively a couple of old unwanted clutch plates that could be bolted together to make one?cheersRob

I put it in gear & lock the back wheel with a lump of wood through the spokes of the wheel bearing on both sides of the swinging arm & use at the very least a three foot bar to undo the clutch nut.Derek.

Hi RobWe all do things we regret and putting wood metal or anything through spokes in a wheel is asking for trouble you only need a gorilla to have tightened the clutch nut and something has to give and your spokes have not been make for levering against and bent spokes will are a right pain to replace its an MOT failure but also weaken your wheel to make it wobble.Get the proper tool for the job its safer in the long run.Ride SafeAndy
