hey guys. so we're havin a little trouble getting the driven clutch off from the gear reduction case(grc). it says to take off the bolt, lock washer and washer. which we did. then place the grc on a bench and pull the driven pulley straight up off the shaft from the grc. but that got us nowhere. it is either stuck on or we don't know what we're doing. any tips?
Did you take the snap ring off? Do you have the outer cam off yet?
I had to make a puller out of a think chunk of steel and drill three holes to match the clutch cam. Then you need to drill out and tap the 3 holes on the clutch cam. Use a puller and an impact along with the puller plate you made. That shaft is doudle shafted so look at it close. Look on the online manual is shows the puller plate with the 3 holes. Just make one. I was able to drill the cam holes all the way thru and tap them. Once you have the cam off the outer face will slide off. Is the seal bad on top? Both of the one I did the seal were okay on the shaft. I just replace the two seals below the oil line. So I did not have to take the stationary face off. Was there oil around the upper seal?
Now the stationary face I never pulled off. that's a whole new story. They can be hell is what I read.
Note: I tried using a 3 jaw puller on just the clutch cam. I busted the cam. So we made a puller plate and hooked the 3 jaws to the plate. This way you not pulling on the cam. Just the threads. And are plate was round so the puller jaws could grip good. (we used a old dirt bike sprocket) Also used the same puller plate to put the cam back on. I also read threads with pics where they just used the puller jaws right on the cam and it worked. Like I said I busted mine trying it that way. A new cam cost $50. The sprocket was thick and we bent it. So make your plate with thick steel. I have pulled 3 cams off now with the puller plate. They pop right off with an impact.
Also when drilling the 3 cam holes. When you almost thru the cam go real slow. The angle is weird at the end. Also there is a spring right there. Just go slow at the end. Look inside the cam good and you will see what I am talking about. Tap the holes good and deep as you can. We used fine threads.
I have found info/threads on how to pull the stationary face. I would google around some. I think you have to drill and tap 3 more holes. Could be wrong though. I can tell you that I have read it is a pain in the arse. And some have never come off.
