I don't think some of you are understanding this concept of using water pressure to push the clutch off of the tapered shaft. I was not trying to use the clutch bolt to push against the crank. The concept is that if you fill the hole in the clutch with water and use teflon tape to seal the threads that the added volume (bolt being threaded into the clutch) will create enough pressure to push the clutch off. Being that water is an incompressible fluid when the bolt is threaded in it creates a lot of pressure given that the water has already occupied any volume (space) that is available.
What I did not know is that the threads in the clutch are different from those in the crank.
What you don't understand is that you need to use a clutch puller along with water or oil to pull your clutch. If you are using the clutch bolt you are just creating pressure on your crank threads and exserting no pressure on your clutch. The threads on a puller are a bigger diameter and does not engage your crank at all. It pushes on the crank instead of pulling. Using a liquid compounds that push.
)I sure wish I could draw a picture)
bottom line, you need a puller
