How-To Tip: Safer Clutch Disassembly
Posted: Wed Jun 16, 2021 4:31 pm
Like most self-maintaining scooter owners, I picked up some good points on disassembling the PCX's driven face from the video by the gent in sandals.
I just don't trust my sandals (Or even my shoes!) that much.
The orchids are just toooo precious.
I figured that using my spare tire would be safer and easier, and it was:
I loosened the nut using a strap & a crescent wrench.
Then, using some wood from the scrap box I shimmed the clutch to the right height, leaned on the tire and safely and easily removed the nut. The weight kept the assembly compressed without me. (Handy if a Grizzly wanders by)
Slowly lifted the wheel
Reassembly worked fine in reverse. Yah! 
Hope this helps somebody.
