awsome. can anyone tell me how to change the belt. never have done it. thanks

Take the little tool out of your kit that is hinged and threaded on one end and turn it into the open hole on the end of your secondary clutch. The more you turn it in, the more it splits the sheaves apart to easily slide the belt off. Make sure when you install the new belt, the arrow faces toward the front of the machine. Reverse the order to install.

thanks for the help. if i dont have the tool can tou use a bolt to do the trick.

You can also spread the secondary by hand. All you have to do is lock your emergency brake, and place your hands on the inside sheave, then press firmly back and rotate to the right. This will allow it to open, then you hold it with your right hand and take the belt off with your left. Doesn't take a whole lot, just need to find out when and how much you need to rotate it. A bolt would work if you could find the same metric fine thread. Hope this helps!

thanks this does help alot because i have no tool for it. i know this sounds stupid but which is the secondary and which is the primary. and also what do you mean by sheave. thanks for the help and im fairly new to sleds. thanks.

 

[bbryanusmc]

The secondary is the one on the right if you are looking at the sled from the side, or the one in the back if you are sitting on the sled. Sheaves are the two halves of the clutch, the faster you go the more the sheaves open on the secondary. The Primary is just the opposite, the faster you go the more the clutch closes.

heres an update. went out and started the sled( still has old belt on) and she wont even move. just revs up. is this the belt or clutch. thanks

 

[git_er_done]

oh and any help would be asppreciated and it also seems that the clutch is still workin.

put a new belt on it

 

[bowhunter1]

For sure start with the belt. The other guys have it right on how to change it. Did you look in your tool kit for the secondary spreader?

 

[git_er_done]

i dont got the tool and i have no clue how to change it. i know yaqhs told me but i cant seem to move it since i weiigh probly 140 and my muscles arent that big. ill get it though.

 

[bowhunter1]

put the e-brake on. grab the outer half of the secondary and twist. it is tough but you can doo it by hand. otherwise any friends with a doo will have the same tool. it is the same tool even for newer sleds. even if you had to buy one it can't cost more then $10.0
