The Ofna clutch tool is even better and installs as well as removes clutch springs/shoes.

Yeah I agree that Sportworks clutch tool is a SAVIOR!

A thin flat head with a strong handle would help. I'm not saying its easy, you'll probably swear at it for quite a while.

Again, you can use a screwdriver but it sucks. I've used both the Sportwerks tool and the Ofna clutch tool and the Ofna tool is much easier and it serves both functions for half the price.

the sport werks tool removes shoes also
nothin like stabbing urself with a screwdriver a few times

I don't think removing clutch shoes is hard at all, I can usually get them off in about 2 minutes. Its just installing without a tool that takes a bit of time and patience.

Have either of you tried both tools?
clutch installing suggestions - Ponch - 12-08-2006
Nope just SW, no reason to change if it works perfectly fine.
clutch installing suggestions - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 12-08-2006
yes

I have
The SW tool is more simple to use.
The Ofna tool looks more complicated to use.
For me I have the SW tool and never use it anymore.
I use the truty ol rigid screwdriver and I do not find it that hard to do.

clutch installing suggestions - Ponch - 12-08-2006
Yep you'll get faster every time you put them on/take them off.
