Can you show us this tool they say you need?

lil hint... the plates are...steel..... get a couple of mechanics magnets (magnets on a stick, usually right next to the register at an auto parts store for a buck a piece) and you can get the plates out no prob.
the tool they say you need is a toothed piece that locks the clutch basket gear so you can use a socket to loosen the nut. like I said, an impact does the trick. no special tools needed.
DO NOT under any circumstances wedge a flat blade screwdriver in the gears to keep em from spinning. I've seen people do it, and watched them tear up the teeth on the clutch basket/crank.
