made one out of a socket that fit in the pilot bearing then put electrical tap on it to make the rest the diameter of the clutch disc. Have done this a couple times.

i'm surprised nobody said "just use a plasma cutter"...... anyway, salbaje says i can find it at kragen so i'll check there. if not, i suppose my finger will have to do....

Best and cheapest way!!
Use a deep socket and an extension. I've done this about 5 times w/ different peoples clutches, haven't had any probs
