Looking for help on how to hold primary clutch for torquing?

[JayM]

Hi all,

I'm struggling to figure out a good way to hold the primary so I can get it torqued to the 108ft lbs. Using a small pry bar between the primary posts is pretty much impossible to hold it from spinning backwards due to leverage and can't fit a longer pry bar there. Also I fear I'm going to break the clutch.

I tried searching but only found torque specs not really any pics or video on how to hold it.

Thanks!

Buy clutch holder, or put your bar thru clutch horizontal to under secondary to hold while torquing, do this in a pinch if you have to just wrap rag on bar not to scratch

Can't find one listed for the YSRC only something like this. I assume the handle end rest on the secondary?

Slide a wooden dowel between the towers. Tighten clutch.

Other end on the secondary? No issues wih the dowel breaking at 108ft lbs? I assume it has to be a big enough dowel.

I've used a hockey stick or broom pole before I made proper holding bar.

Hammer handle works.

Axe handle through clutch and under a-arm. In field I have used breaker bar same way and never hurt a thing.

I had seen that pic of yours @ROCKERDAN do you just hold the holder in your hand? Just not. Very long when you have a 1/2 torque wrench and going to 108 ft lbs
