The spirals go anti clockwise as you look at the clutch. Would that be with the plates installed in the engine? confused22

If you can find it Honda had a tool that did the clutch and neck bearing area.

Ended up buying the tool/socket from motion pro
Part no:158015
MP part no:08-0015
10 bucks

2023 update, it is also available on Amazon now for $14 shipped. Promotion still stocks it as well but more cost if you include shipping. It is tight and fights you (it is once again a normal right hand thread) then an air impact gun will make the job easierEdit by Fred Camper March 3, 2023.

I ended up taking a socket that was about the same OD as the center nut and welding square keyway stock prongs onto it. Total investment: a junk socket and some scrap. It works pretty well!
