Thank you so much for this video.. I don't know much about clutches and my local dealer quoted me 1000$ for a new clutch with labour when I went in for a rebuild.. they said the bushings are f'd and you aren't able to change them without changing the sheaves.. Also said my weights dug in or something.. not sure but thank you so much for this video man! Appreciate it
Wow that’s a lot of work. I was about to rebuild the primary clutch on my son’s 2013 M8 because it was getting sloppy but we thought he could get one more ride on it. Shortly after getting up to the mountain that spider cracked and ceased the clutch open. I had to tow him all the way out with my Axys. Got a brand new “un-calibrated” primary clutch off of eBay then got new weights and spring all for around 500$.
In process of rebuild the primary off my 2010 arctic cat crossfire, awesome video just a couple questions.. do you use locktite on spider & or the jam nut when re-installing & if so which grade..? Also what do you torque the spider & jam nut to..? Or just tighten spider until the marker you made with inner sheeve lines up..? Thanks again
Thanks for the video. As soon as I removed the spider, the buttons and rollers just started falling out, no chiseling or tool necessary. Is that right? The new set fits loose the same way.
I can’t find any shop here in upstate New York that will remove my spider for me. They all say it way too dangerous and is a liability for them. From watching this video it doesn’t seem to hard to take off, so idk why no one will do it!
My problem is the movable sheave won’t slide freely up and down on shaft, if I rock the sheave side to side it slide towards inner sheave but then I gotta pry them back apart. Would you think the bushing would be the problem? Greatly appreciated for any insight!!
@@robbrown809 i would guess its the buttons, that has worn out the tracks ( dont know the english words for it), so the sheave get locked in the upper and lower position
I put a light under buttons and can see light between each button so I know it’s not that. Only other possible thing is that bushing not sliding on shaft properly. Thanks for reply!
Just took my clutch apart with homemade tools just like yours, took longer to make tools then clutch disassembly. Great video helped me a bunch, and it was the moveable making clutch stick, it had a tear in it. Thanks!!
I got a 06 crossfire 600 and I’m doing exactly what your doing I just need the socket size for the nut holding the spider in do you know what size it is?
How much play is there suppose to be on your rollers upon releasing the spring / weights on them. I would imagine the roller isn’t suppose to have any play on the pin is it ? Also what size of socket did you weld up to take the spider but off ?
I was wondering if you could do a video on how to stop slack/steering wobble when the bars move side to side without actually moving anything.. thanks!!
RGNightHawwk thank you for reply, if its a proclimb, its cause of the bolt in the front of the snowmobile, where the steering links are mounted, under the two plates, i can make a diy when i get my sled home, thanks for diy request!
Yea that would be awesome! Could never find any videos on how to do it.. I'm sure it would help many people, I'm pretty sure it's a bushing but the video would still help a lot! I've had this on my arctic cat and on my rev.. Thanks man
Ok! I saw someone asked you about your holding fixture. It would be very nice if you could describe the homemade one for me. I'm about to do this job and have plans to make my own tool
Hi i have been looking on royal distributing for the spider removal tool and cant find one for my aplication could i know where you found yours i think a clutch puller and the spider tool no other special tools are required as i can see from your video ?
Mike Dawe thanks for reply, i have two spyder removal tools, one is homemade, the other (black) is bought from usa, i think from thunder products You also need a spider nut removal socket.if you have any questions, add me a facebook, and i will help you
Hey man I have a question the weights that is in the primary clutch has failing out of place do I have to take that wheel off to replace those weights cuz they fell out of those little notches that they go in you know what I'm saying
I love the video thank you so much! Do you know where you can buy the bushings for the driven/secondary clutch? Ive serached and searched and cant find anything
Hi, they are called fettbros.com, i have sendt the drawings of the pin removal tool, so i think you can buy it from them, it will make everything much more easy
@@Northgrow I have a snowmobile arctic cat m1100 no turbo and I have play in the plates so I want to install this kit, I have no mountains, just plains
@@user-zh2ks8ye2t listen mate, am trying to tell you Arctic cat drive clutch is a big scam, they are shit. nothing will get that shit to work over time, its wrong enginered, same with your secondary clutch, pure shit
I am having the same issue I found this thunderproductsclutching.com/product/arctic-cat-drive-clutch-bushings/ but dont know if its fro my model or not
@@Northgrow I don't know about shims,it is broke again I need to buy a new one that is put together right. Do you have any suggestions? The spring was not anything crazy I ride in the mountains.
yoshimuraje am using the original arctic cat clutch holder, its allmost as the crank shaft, and it works very good, it also have a bolt, that make it firm! Add me at fb, if you need more info!
Thanks! been looking at ways to make a home made version due to $$$. but looks like ill be shit out of luck and need to get the tools if I want to do it myself
yoshimuraje you can make one yourself, in the old days, i used to remove the screws in the gold ring behind the innersheave, and mount them to a squere bar, and i overhauled many that way, i can send you pictures of my old tool, or i can make a video, your choice!
That cigg lite was probably the coolest thing ive seen all day! Good job with the video man

Hi! Nice vid. What size is the socket for removing the spidernut?
snenger1 there is 3 different sockets!!
Ok! I saw someone asked you about your holding fixture. It would be very nice if you could describe the homemade one for me. I'm about to do this job and have plans to make my own tool
1-7/16 is the socket size. You'll need a deep socket and you'll only find them in 3/4 drive. I found one at Tractor Supply for $25
Yes, this is what i mean. I will appreciate if you will share link where i can order them. Thank you.

it all depends how hard you drive, and how much you clean your driveclutch.
Arctic cat has really shitty driveclutch, so they can be fast broken
