working on 2000 scrambler 400 two stroke. pullin motor out and got hung up here trying to get clutch off and cant get it to break free, any tips or tricks tools i need here? got this far with it and dont want to beat on it to hard any help would be appreciated
thanks

 

looks like it threaded on the shaft? didnt know if you have to beat on it to break it free? made me nervous thought'd id ask first

 

Several companies make a special tool to take the primary clutch off with.HPD sell's there's for $25 and Aeen sells one for $39.I think that Dennis Kirk sells one also.I've read over on GEN3USA of several people trying to make their own with mixed results.

 

damn really hopin didnt have to buy anything thought maybe pry bar or something, wanting to get it out tonight...

 

The only good way is to use the proper puller. Its really being pushed off from the center. Dont wedge or pry on the sheeves. Even with the right puller they sometimes come off hard. Grease the end and the threads when you do use it

 

Here is a good video on how to do it. I had to pull mine last week and had to go to the dealer to buy the puller. It cost close to $40, but you may be able to find it cheaper online.

Buy the puller ......you will use it more than you think
