Attn: Dr. Joe
Has drilling the puller helped you out?
I've heard of cutting four grooves at 90 degrees apart around the shaft to help out instead of grinding one side flat like I do......Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dan

Hey Oldkawboy
Yes it does work..
Almost 30 passes with no sign of even a slight burn mark and yes I still slide the clutch.
You will need a carbide bit or better and a drill press, I used a .125/ 1/8" bit.. It's a little big so go with a small size maybe about half that .060 to a .087 or so..
When you pull out the puller rod measure 1.65 from the small end that's has the hole and drill there...
The only problem that I have with the 1/8" hole is that I get alot of oil between the steel and the fibers that wants to pull me thru the lights when staging the bike. But I have gotten use to it and it's not that bad... But my steels look great so I will put up with that problem anyday....
One more trick of the day...
Cheap clutch fiber and steel pullers...
Go to your local hardware store and ask for a couple of Paint can openers... They will fit perfect inside the clutch for pulling out the fibers and steels... I have been using them for about the last 3 months and they also work great....
So now if anyone else has any tricks that they have been doing to make doing a job easier.. lets share them....
DR JOE
P.S. Please let me know what size you use and the luck that you have with it...
