Clutch?

[Longview]

the nut in the center is attached to the rod we are assuming is welded to the ball. that is what pushes the the pressure plate out releasing the clutch. and yes the nuts withthe springs behind them need to be removed.

How do i get those bolts out without turning the plate.

 

[scotj77]

they shouldn't be torqued very tightly. use a socket wrench not a screwdriver and just kinda smack it with your hand. or hold the whole clutch assembly still with your other hand

Alright, i got those bolts and springs out, but when i try to take out the silver plate everything behind it slides out with it, including the nut you said to leave on.

that nut is attached to the pressure plate. the clutch disks are just kinda stuck to it with the tranny oil. it should pull out. if not you got your work cut out for ya bc the end of the rod has flared tight to the inside of the shaft

Alright got the pressure plate out, what next? ( BTW really appreciate your help man + Rep )

ok can you tilt the quad up with the clutch side down. try to get the ball and rod that are inside that shaft out.

you can try moving the clutch lever to see if that gets them moving also

how does the end of the rod look. post pics if you can't discribe it

Should i take my friction plates off since they will probably fall on the ground?

And I'll post a picture.

Pictures:

It's scorched a little.

And there is a little circle indent at the top of the rod. For the ball?

was there no ball in there?

 

[scotj77]

ok this is a bad rod and ball. the ball is permanently attached to the end of the rod. this is the rod coming out of the pressure plate
the rod that is flat on the end is the end that contacts the clutch actuator(the thing the cable pulls on the motor) this is only able to be removed in this condition by splitting the cases

this is a good usable set of rods and ball.

Should the ball have come out when i took out the rod? or do i need to tip the quad to get it out?

 

[scotj77]

so have you been able to get the ball out? That rod looks to be in good usable condition to me.

 

[scotj77]

you need to tip the quad to see if it rolls out. if it doesn't just fall out i would move the clutch actuator lever around to see if that wil dislodge it. Btw thanks for the rep man. This is why we have this place man.

Yeah, i tipped it almost vertical, and wiggled it around, nothing came out.

 

[scotj77]

hmm that's not a good sign. have you removed the clutch cable? if not you sholuld remove the cable from the clutch actuator then there is a spring that hooks on the cases. unhook that spring and try to pull the acuator lever up and out of the cases. it should pull right out. if you have an air compressor you can use that to force air into the actuator hole. that should blow the ball and rod out if it sin't stuck in there

 

[Longview]

Yeah, I've got the cable off. And ok, I'll try that real quick.

i gotta give scotj major props and reps for sticking this out as long as he has.
you don't have to know everything there is about these, or even "over know" things, just help to the end.
scotj for technician !!!!!!
