Clutch adjustment tool

[g.s.john]

Use a long 13mm socket on a U/J or wobble bar to undo the locknut.
And as vern says, adjust the 10mm bolt head by hand so you have play at the arm.
Then tighten lock nut.

That's what i have been trying to do with the tools you list the problem is keeping the 10mm bolt still when i tighten the lock nut it moves with it and reduces the amount of free play.
But i have a long weekend coming up so i will have another go.

Then give yourself a bit more free play, so it'll reduce when you tighten the locknut

Just a thought, You do hold the adjuster nut and spin the locknut with a finger until it's stopped before finally tightening it with a socket, don't you ?.

I had not thought of taking up the slack on the locknut by hand
I will try that this W/E, thanks.

I did mine with the rear wheel and shock removed, ordinary, tools five minutes, as a bonus I could even see what I was doing
