Ok guys I’m going to be pulling the clutch hub buuut can’t find my puller if I remember correctly what my dad did he used an old steel clutch plate and some nuts to compress and keep the pack together and a rubber mallet to tap it off after the nut was removed? Sound about right or am I way off

I have never bought one... G's and D's... yup!!
Back when my '82 was new I ran an Andrews Flowmaster/Screamin Eagle Butterfly carb... After alot of Learning curve...
There are a Couple E's hangin around here for quite some time... I'll run one soon... Maybe once I talk myself into removing a CV from something... Nah!!! I doubt it..

Got a crate with a 1/2 dozen old B's around somewhere, a few with the pump bowl mod, loved that carb.

I don't really love it... damn thing bangs my Knee... but it is certainly functional... long as I do Not have to deal with pumper bowls and adjustable main jets and crap like that... I'm happy with a "B"... nothing but a glorified Linkert!!!!
