Hi, Im pulling down my Sport 400 & cant get the inner sheave of the primary clutch off the crankshaft, any ideas?

 

do you have a clutch puller? you can either buy one or make one. you will need a 3/4 inch fine thread peice of all thread or a bolt. I used a trailor ball and an extension inside the clutch housing to get mine off. I had to grind the trailor ball so that I could get a two inch wrench to fit on the end.

If your not in a hurry a puller would be the way to go. I spent atleast the same amount on the stuff I used to get my clutch off the only plus is that what I used was readily available.

 

where doi get a clutch puller?

 

Hotseat, AAENPerformance, HPD-INC, and erlandsonperformance.

just add www at the front and .com at the back for what I typed if you don;t know the website.

 

Thanks for all your help, I have it sorted, next question, how do you get thye counter balance gears off?

 

The counter balance gear has to be pressed off. Make sure to mark the position of the gear on the counterbalancer with a scratch awl or a chisel. The punch marks on both gears have to be in time, when re-assembeled

 

Do you mean that it must be disassembled first? that means remove clutch split case?

 

In order to split the cases, to access the crank- you have to remove the crank gear and the slotted nut on top of it. which is left hand thread. Some times you can get away without removing the counterbalance at all. It may stay with the right side case
