I have a factory service manual for the 2001 Blast on which I need to remove the clutch to get at the stator. In the manual it calls for Harley parts HD-38515-91 and HD-38515-A, these 2 tools come to over $200 at Harley. The dealer only wants $250 to do the whole job, so it's not cost effective to do it myself if I need to buy these tools.

My question is, is it possible to remove the clutch without these tools that Harley recommends, or is there another alternative tools that is cost effective?

Thanks,
Aaron

Remove the clutch as a unit - all you need is some steel bar stock - about an 1/8th or a tad less thick around 5 1/4" long by about 1 1/2 wide, round the end edges into a constant curve and you have the tool to put between the gears to keep them from moving while you take the two nuts off - remember one is reverse threaded.
