Ok, so I just finished installing the 1250 kit on the bike and got everything buttoned up. Now to install the new clutch....oh wait I cant get the damn thing apart....

I dont want to spend $100 on the special tool to compress the diaphram spring... Ive tried a couple different ways with some pvc and metal bar but that isnt working.

I have searched some videos and all they do is talk about what to do which doesnt help...

Anyone have some pointers or pics that might help get this thing apart?

Thanks.
