anyone had any luck breaking free a stuck clutch i have shimed the pressure plate out trying to get as much pressure off of the discs as i could no luck i was thinking about water and maybe with antifreze as it cuts rust some what

well i broke down and started to repair my loader i got in dec. pulled the left clutch out today with some heat (all the pins were rusted in ) had to use a puller on the inner shaft it was not easy but could have been worse had to use a chipping hammer to get the dics and steels out. now the hard part starts call for parts/prices LOL or should i say cry?

How long did it take to take everything apart? What parts are you replacing, whats the total cost going to be? I need to put a steering clutch in mine soon.

took about a day to get the clutch out having to replace the fibers found some used $80 steels used $72 had a throw out bearing on the shelf had it for about 20 years having to buy center hub $50 had presure plate rebuilt $100 and brake band relined $75 and while i wait for parts i remounted the alt it was all jacked up had a 1/2 belt on it not the 11/16 it was riding in the bottom of the pullys then i found out that who ever rebuilt the water pump last did not push the pulley on far enough had to take it off and press it on the rest of the way i had a small water leak on the rocker cover so i was that close so i dug in farther found out the they had not used a gasket only silicone so adj the valves and put the new gasket in i also found out that the rear fuel tank bracket was broken and about 1/3 missing( they did not think the rear tank bolts where nessasary) so had to fab a new one putting it in was fun loader frame in the way some brazing and 2 bolts from the inside and good as new next i am having the rear (track) spring covers made yes it has a few problems but runs great
