primary removal - wont budge

GREASE for the win

Wow that was easy

Now, to remove the spring, do you need a special tool to compress the cover while you unbolt?

Will it fly out there?

I just hold it down with the palm of my hand, I loosen all the bolts and take one out at a time.

I would of gone for the frozen peas and corn trick,less messy...lol.The cold method worked great for me anyways and no messy grease all over the place.

didnt use/take much grease at all, so mess is minimal....frig, I fell into the sled when it let go, cuz I wanted to make sure I wasnt twisting the crank, so I was leaning on the clutch and a used the socket.......POP shot right off, and I fell into the sled and I tasted my spark plug boots....LOL

No just back off all six bolts at the same rate & near the end just push down on the cover to remove the the bolts & let up a little...that easy, unless its a modified spring for a special application, like racing...
make sure you orientate everything, I use a felt pen & mark 1,2,3 & the nut side of each flyweight...if you separate the the spider...you will need to heat the loc-tite @ the fix sheave...take note how the split colors sits...
Follow this fello T.Yers thread...you should be good to go...cheers

I had one heck of a time removing mine last year, gave up & trailer to a local dealer...they used the impact gun & (damaged)two pullers & gave up...however they did not leave me stranded...down the road was a Farming Machine Shop, a real nice old chap, he has seen it all, so he tells me...what he did was put the sled on its side(clutch side up),pour 1oz of hydraulic fluid in the crank stub, then loaded the grease on top of it, then used my puller bolt with axle grease on the threads & zipped it with an impact gun...then set the sled down & put it outside...we went back inside for a coffee, exchange a few stories & yes I heard it "pop" through the shop door...went outside, it was off, a little messy...but off...he charged me $10 & he cleaned up all the grease on & in the primary...I was so happy, I gave him an extra $10...the old chap said if it weren't cold out, I have frozen bags of peas/corn to set in between the sheaves, that does the trick also...
So keep us informed...cheers

Yeah, working around old farm equipment or heavy machinery for a few years presents you with a lot of Challenges. I really wish I had kept a notebook, as many of these techniques still come in handy today, that is when I can remember them.

Yep...I will always remember how to get to this "old Chap's Place"...he was just so dam genuine in his thinking method...some times it pays to learn something from the elders...so to speak...
