Ok guys i need to replace the sliding sheave on my primary. What all do i need to do to get this off? Ive seen a spider removal and instalation tool, I see how it will pull it of but does this also put it back on?

Clutch tool
You definately need some kind of specialty tool to remove it, whether be bought or home-made. They are pricey to buy though...about $250/US (I think). I usually just bring my clutch down to my local dealer and they pop it loose for $20. I think they use some 2 piece tool (one piece goes on the clutch, one gets bolted to a bench or the wall) manufactured by Comet called a Grunt(?) tool. I do the adjustments I want to do or cleaning, then I bolt it back together. As far as putting it back together, I cut a 2' x 2' peice of MDF board & drilled holes to line up with 4 of the bolt holes on the back side of the fived sheave. I hand tighten the fixed sheave then I bolt it to the board, with 4 bolts. Then I bolt the board to the work bench. Then I use my clutch holder (tool that looks like a question mark) to tighten. Maybe someone else can chime in with a better way?

You need a primary grunt tool. You gotta heat the clutch up & the threads are backwards. Right to loosen & left to tighten
