Made myself a clutch compressor- see pic - couple of bits of angle iron and a bent bit of bar, 2 6mm roof bolts and a long 8mm bolt through top with nut a couple of turns on the end to make contact with clutch centre - fashioned a holder for the top nut but could have used a spanner. Used a mole wrench as a turning handle.
Also shown is my flywheel holder - bit of 2" tube shaped to fit, with a bit of electrical steel conduit bolted on with 6mm roof bolts.
Removed drive sprocket assembly/chain guide - tried out the compressor - worked ok, removed clutch plates and housing etc. Time to have a look round the other side. Made a flywheel hoding tool but dont need it as the engine is siezed and flywheel is solid, - remove centre nut from flywheel.
The lambretta tool for removing the flywheel screws into the threaded centre but someone in the distand past has wrecked the thread somehow, -probably trying to prize it off - the shaft is in the way of getting a tap in to recut the thread.
