Times 10 good idea.

 

Thanks for the tip and pics! Red green and macgyver would be proud!

 

Once I saw the post above I made my own based off his design. I used to spare 1" sockets cut on an angle and a 2" pvc pipe cap drilled with a 3/8" hole for the 3/8" threaded rod. Just used it to change my helix. You really have to tighten it on the shaft so it doesnt slip out.

 

CT has a great QRS tool.

I agree but, nothing beats free.

 

Those look a lot less crude then mine. Can u change helix with secondary in the sled?

Yes

 

LoL, i too, made one last night, worked awsome, 25 sec of heat with propane torch and a # T-40 Torx, those nasty bolts came right out, Replaced with Metric M8 Bolts for next trip around.One thing i didn,t see was any Floating Washers on either end of the stock Torsion spring on my 2011 MXZ -1200, the New Cudney kit did not come with any either,and after a quick google, Many say not needed with Compression spring as opposed to Torsion spring,hope there right.

#2 Prob Besides it was almost dark and working outside in Freezing temps,after together could not adjust Belt Deflection low enough with adjuster clear in

No one told me the adjuster will go on 2 ways,but only one way is the proper way, There is a Threadless shoulder on one side of the adjuster,this MUST go towards the Helix in order to obtain Proper Belt Deflection.Was no big deal after i spun it off in daylight i quickly noticed my mistake

 

Glad to see others getting some use from this idea... It would be great to have a DIY tool section somewhere here for people to post up their stuff to help others.

 

I agree but sponsors sell the tools. My sled jack is my compresser. All thread and pvc are your friends.

plastic washers (swivel abutment brp #417127116 ) come stock on compression spring equipped 600 and 800 etec's none on torsion springs...my compression spring from DooDoctor came with this part.

Yep they doo
.. but I have never been called handsome so you gotta get handy..lol

 

Needed to make a tool to replace the rollers in a Lads secondary so I whipped up a tool in 15 minutes with no welder required.
Looked around the shop and found that an old jack I don't use anymore had a perfect size handle ( 1 1/4" ) so I cut it in a 45 degree angle .
All you need is a length of 1/2" all thread and 2 1/2" nuts ..( I used a self locking on the inside.) and a couple washers. Once you slip it in the end of the shaft just tighten the outer nut and it takes a grip.
The peice of pipe is just a chunk of exhaust pipe that I made my clutch spring compressor out of but you could use pvc pipe and a bigger washer .
Works slick .

Nice work thanks for sharing I made one also but not as straight as your angle but it works
