A manual clutch on a 250ES? I didn't know they had a manual clutch? Have you tried using an impact on it?

Proper tools work wonders. Try getting a socket that does fit the nut.

They have a manual clutch and a centrifical clutch....

I can't see what the issue is?? Wrong socket? Too fat walled and doesn't fit in there?? or?????????????

Sometimes they have backwards threads on one or the other, a MANUAL would tell you that and the size socket to use in some cases.

Otherwise you risk ruining some parts, but thats what most guys have been doing for years so join the club.

the socket end is tapered so it would barely grab the nut and slip, i used a cold chisel and hammer (welcome to the farmers world a hammer does everything) i got it off though
