I'm still in the process of dismantling my shovel and hit a wall. I cant figure out how to remove the clutch shell, there was a bdl belt drive installed, any tips appreciated.

1974 shovelhead (1978 frame)

 

 

 

Thank you panz you're the man.

 

A clutch hub puller will make it easier, and less likely to damage the hub...

i used a modified harmonic balancer puller for years till I broke a stud, the propper tool is nice!

 

Follow up question, can I run an open primary with this belt? Or do I need a specific kit?

 

Look at it!!! Do you want to keep Electric start??

 

I'm having trouble getting that but off. I can't seem to stop the Splines from spinning. Is there a tool I need or should I just use an air gun?

 

i use a slide hammer and it just pops off.why run a open belt that size. dont make sense
