I made one that mimics the Guzzi tool that I found shown in the Guzzi
V7 repair manual. It is basically a strip of 1/8" thick flat metal
stock with an arc of teeth and two holes (can't remember the width,
maybe 2"). The teeth engage the flywheel teeth and the two holes align
with two bell housing studs.
Used a piece of cardboard (thin 'shirt' cardboard) to make a template,
transferred the template to the metal stock and used a variety of hand
tools (file, drill, grinder) to finish the project. Took a bit of fine
tuning with a triangular file to get everything to work correctly. It
holds the flywheel with aplomb and assurance. Took about 45 minutes to
complete the tool.

| Next question... has anyone made a substitute tool for holding the flywheel while you unbolt it? On Beemers we would undo a couple bolts, substitute two longer bolts with nuts to hold the clutch down, hang a box wrench over the new bolt and a stud on the bell housing to hold the fly wheel/clutch in place while undoing the rest of the bolts. then use the nuts on the new bolts to slosly let the pressure off the diaphragm spring. Then the bolt would go back into the fly wheel to be held steady with the box wrench as before while the flywheel bols were undone. |
