A friend has a 95 Bayou 300 2wd that I think needs a new centrifugal clutch. I offered to help him put it in if he buys it. It's a $250 part ! But anyway, I haven't ever done one of these but I've done regular clutches. Is this a DIY job and if so, do I need any special tools?

 

In two occasions you may need special tools as following:
1. When removing the primary clutch hub nut, you need a special tool (or something you wedege in) to hold the primary gear and secondary gear.
2. When removing the balancer drive gear nut, you need a special tool (or something that would fit the spider shaped nut).
I would not buy special tools just for doing this one time job, no way. Open up the right side engine cover and see if you can improvise something instead.

 

Ok thanks. I'll see what I can improvise. I'm pretty good at doing what can't be done.
