LaVern Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Hi All, I am back with another question regarding the 1977 TY250 493 I am working on. I am in the process of replacing the crank seals and, I got the left hand side out with no problems, but the right hand side, the clutch side, is giving me problems. I got the crankshaft gear removed with no problems. I have to remove the clutch basket to get to the seal retainer. And I got the clutch plates removed, but I am not sure which hand thread it is on the clutch basket nut. Looking at the few threads that are exposed it looks like a left hand thread, which makes sense since the crank shaft nut was a right hand thread and these turn in the opposite direction. I have an Dewalt 18V 1/2" impact and it will not budge it either way. I also have a pneumatic 1/2" impact but before I put that to it, I want to be sure of the thread direction, left or right hand. I have a tool to secure the inner basket, I just don't know for sure the proper direction to remove the nut. I have a Shop Service manual but I find no indication in there as to the direction. Thanks for any help and info you can give me. LaVern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
