Spider Removal
1. Install clutch in holding fixture and loosen the spider
(counterclockwise) using spider removal tool.
It is important that the same number and thickness of washers
are reinstalled beneath the spider during assembly. Be sure to
note the number and thickness of these washers.
Moveable Sheave Bushing Inspection
2. Inspect the Teflon™ coating on the moveable sheave
bushing.
Roller, Pin, and Thrust Washer Inspection
1. Inspect all rollers, bushings and roller pins by pulling a flat
metal rod across the roller. Turn roller with your finger. If
you notice resistance, galling, or flat spots, replace rollers,
pins and thrust washers in sets of three. Also inspect to see
if roller and bushing are separating. Bushing must fit
tightly in roller. Use the Roller Pin Tool (PN 2870910) to
replace rollers and pins. Take care not to damage roller
bushing or bearing surface of the new pin during
installation.
2. Rubber backed buttons can be used in all ATV clutches if
the hollow roller pin is changed to the solid roller pin.
NOTE: The rubber side of the button is positioned
toward the solid roller pin.
