🔧 Black EBC Brakes CT008 Clutch Basket Holder Tool Review

CT008 is the correct tool to remove the clutch basket from a 1972 Yamaha DT2 (plus the tool looks really cool, love the finish)

Don't be a fool and buy one of these or you'll break one of the clutch basket ribs. And replacing it is more expensive than buying this tool.

This thing slides very easily and I found it safer than using one of the universal hitch holders that only make 2 points of contact. This thing might cost the same as a multi-tool, but I think it's safer/easier to clutch than a multi-tool (mainly because it's impossible to use much easier or put less stress on…

I purchased this tool to remove the clutch basket from my motorcycle when I was converting to a slipper clutch. I'm sure I could have used an impact wrench to remove the nut, but since the right tool was cheap enough I went ahead and bought one. There was only one position on my bike (Yamaha R6 2005) where the tool removed everything enough to get stuck. I could bend the handle if needed, but it wasn't necessary. The tool worked great. The clutch basket nut was not tightened very tightly, so it
