I'll disagree and say it's ok to use impacts on the clutch. I just don't see it "flat spotting" the rod bearings, granted if you could hold every thing in one position and hammer the air gun long enough you might manage to create a wear spot on a bearing but in the real world I doubt it. To me the danger would involve thread stripping the clutch with a high output impact and an idiot operator. (yes I have been the idiot a few times over the years but not with a clutch ) I always put a dab of antisieze on the puller threads and the tip of the puller that hits the crank snout, I would recommend caution if you tighten the clutch bolt with a impact...very easy to over torque it. That said I always use an impact even when installing the clutch Dave Phaneuf.........the caveman ,get a bigger hammer mechanic!
