Clutch Nut

My clutch nut came off. Not the one that holds the hole thing on, that big one that's hard to find a wrench big enough to work.
The clutch was replaced awhile back, and I have a wrench that will barely work, but obviously I didn't get it on tight enough.
When I took the main nut off, the whole thing jumped out towards me from the contra spring.
This time, I locked the big nut in a bench vice and hand cranked the pulley as hard as I could.
Hopefully that will make it stay on.
Any other ideas besides locking glue? I don't want to use that on this.

I use this method, but in reverse with a Big@$$ monkey wrench

Yeah.. seen that video and that's how I got the thing off, and how I put it on.
I guess I didn't bang hard enough though.

[replyingto=gy6girl]gy6girl[/replyingto]Sorry I can't help you out much more than that, other than to use the non-permanent loc-tite, which will still make it extra-difficult to get the clutch nut off again.

Use some emblem adheasive it wont let it come off but doesnt make it any harder when you need to take it off.
I use it on alot of bolts and nuts
