How To Remove Can-Am 850/1000 Outlander/ Renegade Primary Clutch

www.hunterworks.com
This video is about how to remove and replace the primary clutch on the 850/1000 Can Am outlander, renegade, og mavericks and some commanders

[@MaelLauzon]

Very helpful and clear video! I was taught to use a ratchet strap to hold the clutches, using a breaker bar. It works great.

[@scotthaller7268]

Very clear and helpful instructions. I used impact wrench without any issues…made the job easy. I have a Gen 1 Outlander 800 and noticed in my owners manual the torque for the primary clutch bolt is 74lbf*ft…the video mentioned 89 which is too much for the G1.

[@Hunterworks]

The 89 is for the model in the video and while i am a impact guy I never use it on a can am, you got one shot to get this right, if it turns on the shaft it will rarely hold again

[@renter003]

Watch a couple of your video’s , must say some of the best I have seen great info 👍👍👍

[@Hunterworks]

I really appreciate that

[@plwa1207]

Did I miss something, I don’t recall you showing how to put the 2 little spring back under the bearing assembly

[@Hunterworks]

You didn't, looks like I didn't do it but we have a video about the bearing too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5XLh5x9msl0qqcsi=uUaOVmP23LYiCS94

[@stevenritchie-j1t]

The proper way is to lock up the crankshaft first then tighten the bolt, there is a small cover you have to remove to screw a bolt into the crankcase. Backyard mechanics usually blow up their clutches by taking shortcuts.

[@Hunterworks]

We are doing it the way Can Am service manual states

[@CYOTsNiper]

If you have a 2022 outlander 450 the primary has left hand threads.

[@CYOTsNiper]

Would you suggest putting blue loctite on the primary as you did for the secondary? I would love to get a belt if you made them for the 450!

[@Hunterworks]

I do not but it can't hurt but only blue

[@motorsector274]

Perfect video 🙏

[@irvinr6261]

can you use something else if you don’t have a clutch puller?

[@Hunterworks]

maybe but a good way to ruin a clutch. A bolt and rod maybe, but the rods bend and screw the crank up. Order the puller from us, you will have a USA made one in two days

[@chiloquinvectorcontroldistrict]

Hey, might be nice to mention that the bolt os removed turning clockwise, not counter-clockwise

[@Hunterworks]

What bolt? Both primary and secondary bolts on this one are right hand

[@edwardhorvath5731]

The primary (front one) is reverse thread on the 2005 Can Am Outlander. I found that out the hard way, by having it cranked on till it broke. It then came out with my finger, when turning reverse.@@Hunterworks

[@Hunterworks]

@@edwardhorvath5731 Oldest outlander we have worked on is a 22, sorry this was not accurate

[@CYOTsNiper]

@@Hunterworks I have say with my 22 outlander 450 I to thought it was right hand thread on the primary and snapped it! After picking up the head of the bolt off the floor I saw the LH stamped in the head of the bolt! 🤦‍♂️ lesson learned the hard way! When I get the replacement bolt and torque it to specs, I’m still going to be nervous even knowing the correct thread direction now!!! lol

[@TheGraneable]

Hi, I have an older model, a 2006, i've taken the primary clutch bolt out, but the assembly did not spring out, how can I pull it out ?

[@Hunterworks]

The outside half is suppose to come off like this one

[@TheGraneable]

@@Hunterworks That's what I've tought, i'll just hammer it down with a rubber mallet and see what happens

[@adan8890]

@@TheGraneable I have a 19 commander and had to give it a little love tap and it popped right off

[@FML.P.J]

Do you know if on 2022 570 xmr if bolt is reversed threaded or normal? And the torque specs?

[@Hunterworks]

Unfortunately, I do not know either. I’m sorry.

[@crazylifeofme6465]

I have a 2023 can-am outlander 850 max XT what size clutch tools do I need

[@Hunterworks]

Size?

[@crazylifeofme6465]

@@Hunterworks I was told I needed the right size for my bike or do all work this is my first time working on one I need to take them off and give my primary and one way bearing a good cleaning maybe even my secondary

[@Hunterworks]

@@crazylifeofme6465 I guess a belt change tool and a torquing tool you don’t need a clutch puller unless you’re taking the back half of the primary off but if you’re gonna take it off, then all three they can be found on our outlander page on the website

[@crazylifeofme6465]

@@Hunterworks what tool was it that you used to loosen the belt is it universal

[@budgetendurogroup9635]

This video just cost me a days work 😂 the bolt on mine was threaded the opposite way so snapped it with impact gun 😂 are the bolts expensive

Sorry to hear that. What was you working on?

Ok thanks 👍

[@wallyyuriy8912]

I busted the main bolt on mine. I think it might be left hand thread

[@Hunterworks]

I don't know of any that are

[@wallyyuriy8912]

@@Hunterworks just found out that lots are left hand thread just on the primary. Secondary are all normal right hand thread

[@Hunterworks]

@@wallyyuriy8912 Very odd. But depends on way the engine tures or on what side of the engine.

[@wallyyuriy8912]

@@Hunterworks pretty common now that I know. Same side as your video. This is a 2016 can am 450. Though. But wish I knew before. Going to be fun getting the broken threads out of the crankshaft hole

@@wallyyuriy8912 Sorry, never had a 450 clutch apart.

Is that bolt on the primary an upgrade. Mine is a 2021 1000 xtp max and has that torque to yield fastener.
