Clutch Basket Special Socket

[AApple]

I know this has been addressed here somewhere, but I cannot find the info I am looking for. Does anyone have the measurements for the special socket needed to remove the nut that holds the clutch basket onto the shaft? I know what it looks like, but I need the actual measurements. I have a socket that I THINK will work, but without knowing the measurements, I can't tell. I need to know how far it is from one tang across to the opposite tang, if that makes any sense....
I know some of ya'll have made your own sockets, so you should have pics somewhere, right?
Thanx!

Oh...and, are the tangs round or square? It's hard to tell from the pics in the service manual. If they are round, what is the diameter? :read:

Does this help?

The tabs are in a cross pattern.

Not really...
The socket I have has the four tabs on it, but I need to know how far it is between the tabs, cross-ways, as in my diagram above. The socket I have measures 1 3/8" for the blue(inside) measure, and 1 5/8" for the red(outside) measure. You said you used a 1 1/8" socket to make your tool, but that doesn't give me what I'm looking for... :beg:

I've never had the Honda tool so I can't answer your question exactly and I still haven't figured out who "borrowed" my homemade
but I could measure a clutch nut, might help.
Oh come to think of it didn't mcgovern just buy a Honda socket?

I wuz gonna suggest that if someone had a nut laying around, measuring that might werk, too.
I don't need a clutch nut socket right now, but I just happened to think about it yesterday while looking at the one I have, since it has the four tabs sticking out on it. It's actually for taking the rear yoke nut off of the older Mercedes transmissions. I rarely see those trannys anymore. This dang socket cost me around $80 waaaay back when....it sure would be sweet if it would work, or could be modified easily to work on the clutch nut. I actually hope I never need to use it! :beg: :smilie_happy:

I bought a 24mm clutch nut removal tool, but it does not fit the 1100, it was made for the GL1000 and it was too small. The inside diameter was too small and I could not fit the tangs into the square holes.
