  • Here's a quick DIY clutch spring compression tool for both Arctic Cat and Polaris TEAM secondary snowmobile clutches. Warning that these clutch springs and helix are dangerous and we don't recommend trying this at home unless you are completely confident in your abilities. PPE is essential! If you're new to our channel, we post videos about snowmobile tuning. Lots of tips and tricks for maintaining and modifying your sled and sled trailer. Mostly just DIY sled stuff for people who like to get their hands dirty or tinker in their garage.

    All I needed to do the upgrade was a bench vice, a 7/16” 15” threaded rod, a block of wood with a 1/2” hole in the center, a 1” x 3.5” x 1/4” piece of aluminum with a 1/2” an offset center hole, a 2” PVC pipe coupler, a washer or two, and a 7/16” nut (all things I had sitting around the house); plus a primary clutch puller (definitely recommended).
    Remove clutches. Clamp the rod into the vice, slip the wood over the rod (to cushion the delicate clutch parts), slip the clutch onto the rod, place the 2” PVC coupler on (fits perfectly over secondary bell - holding down collar), next the metal plate (offset hole allows easier viewing when reassembling primary), washer(s), and nut; good to go!

    Thanks for the video, that's really helpful! I would like to point out that there is only at max 250 lbs, maybe and I mean maybe 300lb on that spring. You could safely do this job witha low grade#8 bolt if long enough, they can hold over 500lb. 3/8 low grade threaded rod/bolt can hold over 3000lbs, giving you a 10x safety margin. 1/2" is way overkill at 5800lbs.

    Great video! Speaking of clutches, I have a 2017 zr8000 (trail pony) with a failing primary and secondary. Factory primary is 750 USD, would I be better off getting after market? If so, any suggestions? Any input would be great.

    Mine was verry simaler to what you made, like the vice mount angle iron.....how about coil over shocks. I have used some really makeshift scary rigs to compress them to get the shocks out.. ever had much fun making sompthing for that?

    • @DIGIT9
      @DIGIT9  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      no never made any of those ! I will look into it

    Could you explain a little more into clutching? I ended up going with a 48/44° Helix on my TM7 a couple years back because i was unhappy with the lack of bottom end. It had a straight 46 in i, (if I remember correctly), it was a little better. The primary is simple and fairly straight forward primary engagement is based off of how stiff your spring rate is. Weight is based off of what power you can pull (elevation and conditions dependent). Then the secondary is where i always get confused with the helix and spring...

    Roughly how long should the threaded rod be?

    Why wouldn't a threaded rod with nuts and big washers work? Why the angle iron?

      Angle iron holds better in a vice !
