Hey UTVU Crew,
I've got a 2012 Wildcat and haven't really had any issues with it until recently. I was driving up a paved hill, not pushing the SXS to any limits, when the drive belt broke. I wasn't aware of what happened and when the primary clutch started spinning freely the weights got free (but still inside the clutch) and banged around pretty good ensuring I'd need the outer sheath at least and associated hardware.
Anyways, that said, I've got all the parts but I can't get the primary drive clutch nut off. I've tried everything from a pneumatic impact gun (though to be honest it isn't being driven properly with a high PSI supply), we've put a nice size breaker bar on it and proped the clutch so it won't spin and just ended up breaking the fins on the clutch sheath instead. (Heat was applied as well, but only with a propane torch so nothing overly hot and we don't have any plans for an acetelene setup.)
Everything i've seen, read or heard is that this is a right handed nut so I'm sticking to the "righty-tighty, lefty-losey" methodology. Any thoughts? At this point i'm feeling like getting an electric impact might be the only solution, which is guaranteed to have over 300ft-lbs of torque behind it.
Is that right or am I just missing something plain and simple.
