What is the best way to take it apart without the spring causing issues? What is the size of the large nut? I have is down to the rear assembly off the belt. I don't have a large enough socket for the impact gun to fit that large (around 36mm) nut. Any tricks? And once that is off are there any tricks to installing the small three springs or the one large one??

 

Assuming you can get the clutch off the bike, I used a vice to hold it (do not touch the variator halfs) and channel locks to loosen it. Once loosened I held it together with one hand and unscrewed it with the other while applying pressure. Hard part was replacing the springs.

 

anyone know the nut size that holds the rear clutch assembly in. The larger one???

 

Not sure of teh nut size, but I used a channel locks on the nut to loosen it. to get the torque driver spring (the big one) back in, put the clutch pully halves on a small piece of 2x4 (like a 4x4x2 piece) and then put the spring ine and set the clutch part on top. Now, take a spare wheel (we used a stock wheel/tire from our scrambler) and use it to push and hold down the clutch to it's mounting point. Now put the nut back on and tighten it with a channel locks again. On teh little springs, I used a large needle nose vice grips to stretch them into place.

After your tear down one a few times, you'll be able to knock it out in no time.

I put a red rear spring in the rear with yellow stiffer small springs. I also put lighter rollers in. the whole kit was from lakeland motorsports. After installation it slowed the machine out of the whole and the top end it not near as good. the machine is otherwise stock but lakes motorsports made the kit for stock machines. I do think the mid range is better. The only thing I can think of is the red rear spring is lighter and the belt is slipping a little at start. Do you guys have any ideas??

 

Typically, rollers and spring are use to compliment other modifications.
