    Viking Wet Clutch Removal/Install

    Been researching this site for a while on a sheave and slug kit. Going to be contacting JBS soon on what weight sliders to go with and place the order. I watched install video a few times already. Do most of you guys that have removed the wet clutch use a cordless impact to torque nut when putting back together? If you torque nut with a torque wrench how do you hold wet clutch from moving? This is the only part that concerns me I just don't want to mess anything up. Thanks

    Impacts are not all created equal, especially when it comes to the electric (cordless) impacts. Even many of the air impacts have different torque ratings.

    I used a combination of air impact and cordless impact while doing mine. It is a bit unnerving to do, but as long as you pay attention and don't cut corners, you shouldn't have any issue. I did see a while back some talk of a method for doing a proper torque and the use (or non-use) of loctite. I would do a search and/or talk with James about it when you call to place your order.

    I don't have an electric impact and was a little nervous about over torquing with my air but so far so good.
