I’m stuck!!

So I’m trying to rebuild my clutch in my f3. But my inner hub will not budge. Do you have to remove the center nut? Any tricks you guys have to remove this? Any help is appreciated

would you please give some pics? I don't own a f3, but I do have some mechanical experience which might help you.

what does your service manual say?
On my F4i you have to remove the center nut to remove inner/outer baskets. Clutch holder helps, so does an impact

I have no service manual. Haven’t had the bike very long, so I’m new. I watched several videos and none of them had to remove that bolt.
It just made sense to remove. I used an impact and boom! That was it.

The clutch center lock nut is "staked" over so it doesn't come lose on its own. It needs to be "unstaked" and then removed in order to remove the clutch center, discs and plates.

To add on to this, there is a Sticky with the manual in it in the F3 section.

Glad you got it sorted out!
I've never had to unstake it when removing with an impact.
Remember to get a brand new nut and stake it in the correct direction!
