Default Does this clutch tool actually work?

Does this actually work and make installing/removing the clutch any easier?

I am not sure about that one, but this is the best tool I have in my toolbox.

Yeah, the screw driver works, but so did covered wagons at one point, too. Anything to make things a little easier!

I agree. No need to use a screwdriver when they make tools like this. It's called progress. Saves stabbing yourself in the fingers as well.

If you weren't such a biff then you wouldn't injure yourself.

Nothing like bashing guys who have found a better, fast, easier way of getting the job done.

The tool works. Some folks have a problem using it untill they get it figured out. I like it, but I am not going to NOT replace a set of shoes/springs if I don't have it with me but have a small screw driver. I think I can replace the shoes faster with the tool than without, plus I know I am not going to stick the end in my finger.

There are times that the shoe can stick and the tool lip will not remove it. Just like when using a small screw driver a thin blade from between the shoe and flywheel will get it off. Just about everyone that has seen me change out a set using the tool has gone and bought one. They are cheap, try it, if you don't like it give it to somebody else.
