bravo help

[mulderdad]

I finally found a track for my boys 89 bravo. I have to take off the secondary b/c it need a good cleaning.
Is there a trick to getting the secondary off? I have the nut off and it wont budge. I have tried to pry it and tried a rubber mallet.
Thanks,
Rick.

Rick put the sled on its side and start spraying some lube to her.

Cheers,
Rick.

Yes I have seen what a french man with a hammer can do. Leave that for the wood pile taberknac.also try undoing the rest of the bolts so the clutch will seperate if that is feasable.Sell the srx yet?

I had the wifes 94 vmax sold, but the deal fell through.
Soooo, I have to still sell the srx or the vmax.

The jackshaft on your Bravo secondary is tapered with a key that holds on the stationary sheave (just like a flywheel). There are 3 holes in the sheave on the retaining nut side. You need to use a 3 way flywheel puller with bolts threaded into those holes and pull it off like you would a flywheel. It should pop right off. Beating it from the backside with a hammer will do NO!! good and you will break the clutch before you get it off. Ovations are the same way. They are a good little clutch but out of the norm for Yamaha design.

Good Luck, Phil

(Parts blowup below, follow the steps to your sled and go to "secondary sheave")
