If you are getting the kit with springs, helix, etc., you have to remove the primary and secondary clutches. You need a special clutch puller to remove the primary clutch to avoid damaging the clutch. I read a post here somewhere that said you could use a trailer ball and a piece of 1/2" rod to remove the primary clutch. I checked my clutch tool against a trailer ball and they are indeed threaded the same. If you have a trailer ball with a 3/4" shank (the 3/4" shank is the smaller diameter of what is available) and some 1/2" rod, you can make your own. If you don't, go ahead and buy the tool from HPD when you get your clutch kit. It won't cost you much more than a trailer ball and rod and you can focus on the clutch kit. Good Luck.

For the basic clutch set from HPD you should not have to remove the whole primany assembley, No special tools are needed.
The Primary gets new weights and engagement spring.You will be able to install these with the unit still on the quad
Seconday will need to come off(no puller), The Helix and spring will get replaced.
You will need a set of Snap Ring plyers. There is a special tool that would help in the aid of reassembly of the secondary but, it can, and ussually is done without by most. Having a friend handly would be helpful.
Also make sure you wind at least 1/4 to 1/2 turn COUNTER CLOCKWISE.

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Jtrundle, if you dont wind the secondary spring (1/3 is the exact), then it will not have pretension on the secondary drive and cause quite a bogging problem when trying to accelerate. The primary clutch is easy to work on still on the machine, although you should try installing the race springs (blue&violet) without any tools. That is a 2 man job! Bubba

Yes, you need to disassembly it to wind it. I normally tell people to use a permanent marker. Make a mark in the helix(drum)and the inner sheave BEFORE you unwind, then make another mark (different color...one red, one black)when you are finished unwinding it. For first-timers, this makes an easier referrence. If you don't have the secondary clutch compressing fixture, you can place a roll of masking tape on the floor, and set the rounded cone of the clutch in it. This kinda helps stabilize things.
