Tech Tip #4: Primary (Drive)
Clutch Removal
1. Spray a light coating of spray
lubricant on the clutch puller before you install puller.
2. Remove the primary clutch bolt
and thread clutch puller in by hand. DO NOT use air impact on
puller, it can cause thread damage. If puller does not thread in
by hand DO NOT force puller in. Remove puller and inspect clutch
and look for any obstructions.
3. Prevent the clutch from
rotating by using a factory tool or a small bar. Make sure the
tool will not cause damage when force is applied.
4. Using a hand tool, not air,
tighten puller until clutch pops off the crankshaft. If the clutch
doesn't come off easily, lightly tap on the end of the puller with
a wrench or smaller hammer. DO NOT use extreme force. Contact your
dealer if the clutch does not come off engine using reasonable
torque.
5. Once clutch is off, unthread
the puller and service clutch.
6. To install the primary clutch
back on the machine, place the clutch on the crankshaft, thread
the bolt in by hand and tighten the bolt to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
