84 Big Red 200cc clutch problem

How do I get the left hand threaded bolt off the centrifical clutch shaft? The manual says to use a penny, but it just crushes that. Any tips?

Thanks

If you have acces to one, a air impact works great.If not, try the penny again, put it in gear and have someone lock up the brake.

Take the pull start off. See the "starter driven pulley" there. Try sticking a screwdriver in the slots and wedge the screwdriver in the foot peg. You will need a long screwdriver. This worked for me.

I use a air impact wrench to loosen the nut myself. It has never failed me. If you don't have one available try using 2 pennies stacked up. they shouldn't bend that way.

Also with the penny thing, remember to use old pennies (not sure what years) as the newer ones are not as tough as the pre 1980's are.
