What size impact are hitting it with?
You can throw a shop rag in the primary chain which will lock it up as it rolls into the gear and use a big breaker bar with the socket to break it free some "clutch nut" and let the impact do the rest...
Yes the clutch nut is left hand and the primary is a right hand thread as said above.

Once again thanks for the info/advice/tips everyone :up:
fyi- I believe the the impact wrench does 400 ft.-lbs.
I went out and got a torch and that did the trick. Both the clutch nut and the engine sprocket nut came off just fine.
After I removed the entire clutch assembly I noticed a slow and steady stream of transmission fluid leaking into the primary case from the transmission shaft. I think that's normal. I put the clutch basket back in for now to keep it from leaking more.
My open primary won't get here until sometime tuesday.. Should I drain the tranny fluid and get a bottle of redline pepto and refill after installing the new primary? Or will there still be enough tranny fluid left if I just let it leak out until it stops

Yeah, might as well I guess. I have to run up to SLC to get the pepto.. it's not as fun doing that in a car
gas, I think your pic answered my next question.
I was going to ask about those bolts in the primary with flap to keep them from backing out. Looks like I use a hammer + flat head to get the flap out of the way? :2thumbs:

Man, I'm glad you got good weather. I'm socked in with rain here but easing up to 30% on Thursday so that is when I will "hi-tail" it out of Dodge! Should be in SLC no later than 6pm if all goes well.
