david Taylor Posted May 23, 2011 #1 Posted May 23, 2011 just wondering how difficult it is to install I basket. I'm only semi mechanically inclined but can usally figure things out. is this something that a pro should install for me. I would like to do it myself but don't want to get in over my head. thanks
Bobby G Posted May 23, 2011 #2 Posted May 23, 2011 I'm told you need a special tool to do this. Check the Tech Library for the threads on this.
gibvel Posted May 23, 2011 #3 Posted May 23, 2011 You know what. There are enough people right around you who, I'm sure, would be more than happy to give you a hand with that. V7Goose comes to mind. However, if you schedule a maintenance day I'd bet you'd have at least 5 guys there who could help. One may even have just the tool you need! Betcha someone chimes in here pretty quickly.
FreezyRider Posted May 23, 2011 #4 Posted May 23, 2011 You can get the tool through ebay pretty cheaply. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-Tusk-Clutch-Holding-Tool-Motorcycle-ATV-UTV-Tool-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3f072aa6b3QQitemZ270703175347QQptZMotorsQ5fAutomotiveQ5fTools
SilvrT Posted May 23, 2011 #5 Posted May 23, 2011 Yes, you need a VERY SPECIAL tool... one like this... [ATTACH]56752[/ATTACH] Oh, and you will also need a torque wrench... [ATTACH]56753[/ATTACH] ... the word "improvise" comes to mind, doesn't it?

[ATTACH]56753[/ATTACH] ... the word "improvise" comes to mind, doesn't it? That brings a lot of other words to mind too......but I better not share those. We've had enough spats on this forum lately! :confused24:

So you're miles ahead of me, my friend!
