The boiling water is a one shot deal and only works on a cold crank. Once you heat the clutch and the PTO shaft the interference fit and tension are back as everything has expanded. So you do have to be quick. Just to humor myself I want to try the water trick next time.
On a similar note, has anyone else had a hell of a time separating the primary sheaves to service/modify the clutch? Seems that the first time is brutal, but after that they come apart easier...
