I worked for the company who made these- and did several studies on what you describe- there is not a problem- just that you need a little more leverage to break it loose....your hand and wrist won't do it alone.

Thanks!! So I was able to use a wrench and finally get the clutch to turn - but it was
extremely tight. Even with the wrench it is difficult to turn. Is that normal? Even when turning the clutch with the wrench it seemed to hit a couple of tight pots as I was turning it. This is OK to put on my van? Even after I "broke it loose," I still can't turn it with my hands. Is the clutch really supposed to be that hard to turn? Gracias'
