On the old board Bergmen posted a picture of a tool he built to keep the clutch basket from rotating when removing the star spring nut. I tried to make one from memory (and 1/8" aluminum) and the results were a twisted mess. Anyone have any luck with it, or pics of how me made it work? If all else fails, I will be hitting up the local moto-salvage to see if they have the "real" tool on Tuesday. Thanks!

If I'm understanding your question correctly just make your own.
Get a hold of a spare clutch plate (the metal one) and weld a handle to it.
This is what worked for me untill I actually bought the tool from Yamaha many decades ago.
Or you could get this:

It's out of 3/16" thick aluminum bludgeoned into shape with a BFH and bench vise.
Hope this helps.

That's where I went wrong, I grabbed 1/8" instead of 3/16". Seems I could have also saved my money and bought the tool. That's good to know.
Thanks!

Judging by the abuse marks on the pieces, I'm guessing "Big Freakin' Hammer" :P

Close enough for a "G" rated forum.
