What tools needed to change out clutch springs

[dopeyferree]

I just had to pay a mechanic to install my new clutch springs in a Kasea 50. I couldnt get the rear clutch apart. What tool do I need to get so I can do this myself next time. I paid more to have the springs put in than I paid for the entire clutch kit

All you need for the shoe springs are a pair of needle nose piers and a good grip and vise. For the big spring on the rear clutch I just put it in a vise and crank it down until I can get the nut on then use an impact. If I have someone else with me just push down on it while they put the nut on. The impact helps a ton for installing/removing the large rear nut, just make sure you are applying pressure when removing or you'll be dodging flying debris when the nut finally comes off, lol.

That was the problem , I couldnt get the big nut off. Tried putting it in a vice but I was using a large wrench instead of an impact and didnt want to clamp down too hard in fear of bending the pulleys. Which way do to put it in the vice . to hold it? Also off hand do you know what size socket it was for the big nut.

I use a 1 1/2" socket on them.

If you have an impact just put the clutch on a solid surface and push down while backing the nut off.

Hey all,

I have hesitated to post this due to the fact that I am the manufacturer.

We have developed a clutch tool that makes assembly and disassembly of the rear clutch a snap. This allows one person to replace the springs in a matter of minutes. The clutch tool increases safety 100 fold.

A full demonstration can be see on our site @ www.ztrproducts.com

I would post a pic but its too large.

Thanks,

We got are clutch tool from ZTR and love it. No more hassles with changing the springs. The big plus for me was no more asking the wife or the kid to help turnning the nut on. I know alot of guys might try to copy this and make their own but trust me the quality of this tool is awesome.

Thanks Paul.

It always sounds better coming from a satisfied customer. As one guy put it there will be 'no more face busters' by using our new tool

Thanks,

Of course after we go Honda someone comes out with a CVT clutch tool............. Paul that's funny do you know how times I've held the clutch down getting dents in my hands while Missy or Kyle tried to but that thin fine thread nut on.......... looks like a great tool. But I really like the chain tensioner Kyle will have one on the Honda. Where can you get one.
