[@joerobb1737]

lets just all take a minute to appreciate that the little man is helping out. good to see him wanting to lend a hand and get his hands dirty.

[@TheCanAmCrew]

🙏🏻 thank you. he’s an awesome young man, always eager to learn and help.

[@uazbuchanka2206]

That's very important for his future, to know being a important part and helping hand as a mechanic next to you.

[@underourrock]

Thank you for a simple no nonsense guide on how to do this maintenance. Really appreciate it.

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Thank you. 💯🤘🏻

Always grease the threads of your pullers to make them last and keep from galling

That boy knew the assignment. Great work dad!

Thank you awesome family now I need to find one for how to remove the rear brake rotors on a X3 2018

[@bigb6548]

Thanks for making simple maintenance videos. Helps more than you realize.

[@TheCanAmCrew]

I’m glad it was able to help out. 🤘🏻💯

[@geraldhawkins2643]

Man I appreciate the video fixing to do mine for the first time it's hard to find someone that explains it like you just did thank you!!

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Awesome. I’m glad it could help.

[@markopalikko6986]

Great video! Nice that you have your young helper, quality, and educational time with the little dude. I have to replave the bendix gear on my 05 outlander 400. Yikes.

[@starRayxx]

Got an X3 RC RR on order due in March. Just watching all the vids I can lol

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Right on, that probably the best machine out there right now In my opinion.

[@uazbuchanka2206]

Same to me... Order the 2021 Maverick X3 XRS MAX TURBO RR with smart shox and seen this (my own piece of bastard) last two weeks at the dealer but have to wait for few upgrades and installing the stuff like roof, windshield with wiper-system, and so on.... The time to wait it's very hard to me, like a child waiting of Santa to Christmas. Here in germany you can order many parts but it needs time to get/got them. That means, mid or end of february will be the best month to me. And the vids of the fabulous CAN AM CREW show me the way for the future gone offroad. Best greetz from far away, from germany.

[@smcgil05]

Thanks for posting, I have a Maverick Sport but probably similar to helpful to watch this.

[@Crash91000]

Why did you only replace 3 o-rings and 3 slider shoes? isnt it better to do all 12 of them, so they are all worn equally? I want to to service the primary clutch on my 2017 x3 but now Im not sure if I should replace all of them.

[@TheCanAmCrew]

@@Crash91000 I bought a rebuild kit and that’s what it came with so that is what I replaced. I think haha. It’s been a few heard since this video.

[@scottfatta8133]

Yes thanks very helpful !!!

[@IkerRamon-v1r]

I couldn't get my clutch out, I see that the tip of your extractor is approximately 11 mm? Why is mine 9 mm and it doesn't come out, do you have any recommendations in these cases? It's very tight, I think

[@TheCanAmCrew]

@@IkerRamon-v1r get a quality tool from ibexx or kwi and we use a heavy duty Milwaukee impact. If that doesn’t work there is a bread method where you stuff the hole full of bread then use the tool and it seems to always work.

[@jamesthomas5580]

I know it takes time to record-edit-post these and we appreciate you doing this. Yet another fine video from the can am crew! You said you have 4500 miles on it before doing the maintenance and the manufacturer says 500? What would be a good mileage estimate before removing it for inspection?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Thank you🤘🏻I would just visually check it every 500 or so til you can see wear, mine had slop in the governor cup because the sliders were so worn and that’s how I could tell. I keep my clutches blown out every couple rides too. The amount of dust that comes out of there is insane.

[@BrianNelson-n1l]

Great video!! Do you have the dimension for the separating tool posted somewhere?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

We used a 7” circle of 3/4 steel. 3/4-16 threaded hole in the center and a 6-1/8 bolt pattern around the outside for the clearance of the bolts that thread into the clutch

[@BrianNelson-n1l]

Ok thank you for the info!!

[@victorsaldivar4697]

Will this stop my x3 from breaking belts?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

If your breaking belts I would check into your alignment and one way bearing, also make sure your using high and low when your supposed to so your not smoking or beating your belt.

[@allenlightner6052]

Do you suggest glass windshield or plastic ? Full or half ??

[@TheCanAmCrew]

We don’t run windshields anymore Since going to custom cages last year but if we were to run one it wouldn’t be glass. With the harder riding there’s a good chance it would break in a flop or rollover

[@allenlightner6052]

@@TheCanAmCrew thank you so much for the info. Safe riding

[@ronaldrail6588]

Very good and no shitty music, excellent.

[@michaellorenzi4522]

Thanks for the video, I just did mine. Any idea why you get so many o-rings in the KWI 500 mile kit?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

I’m actually not sure why there are so many o rings. I didn’t get that many when I ordered mine but I ordered it from tnt performance and not kwi so maybe that has something to do with it.

[@starRayxx]

Thx for taking the time to make these maintenance videos, they help a lot. What do yo torque the primary and secondary bolts to when reassembling?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Thank you for watching, I believe the primary is 89 ftlbs and secondary is 52 ftlbs

[@starRayxx]

@@TheCanAmCrew wow, that doesn’t seem like much. But I like to torque certain things to spec. Thx

[@TangyCrown]

Cam the bearing being dry be the cause of the shifter not going in trying to fig our it out

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Most of the time when a shifter is hard is a bent shift fork or the secondary is spinning. It shouldn’t be. A dry or bad bearing can cause this.

[@stackingstowbuk1260]

Do you need to replace the primary and secondary bolts

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Technically yes. After bolts are torque you shouldn’t reuse them but I’ve had no issues reusing bolts. 8800 miles and counting.

[@stackingstowbuk1260]

@@TheCanAmCrew thank you for the quick response, love your video’s

[@adamtruax9287]

Im having a issue of my seconday spinning at idle..whats your thoughts to fix? primary bearing?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

I’d say the primary one way bearing needs greased. Or replaced

[@shaneward4065]

what hours or ks do you recommend to do them?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

It would be a good practice to do them every 3-4000 miles.

[@judithpearson9845]

Jesse what the name of the grease you used to put inside the barren from TNT?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

I just use the grease that they sent me. I’m not sure of the name off hand.

[@judithpearson9845]

Where are they located? I googled but only brings up workout places. Do you have a phone number?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

@@judithpearson9845 I get all my clutch stuff from whalen speed now.

[@304trails8]

Also am I able to make one of those separater tools? Don't really feel like spending 250 on a tool to use once haha

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Ya. That’s what we did. I used a 3/4 thick plate which was over kill. The center hole is drilled and tapped for a 3/4 bolt. Outside holes are clearanced for the cup bolts. 6-1/8 bolt pattern I believe.

[@jacobwagnercanamx3crazy941]

Very helpful thanks for the lesson & tricks ...

[@TheCanAmCrew]

🤘🏻 thank you for watching.

[@chentonbarragan2348]

very good video, a question as to how much is a primary clutch of a Maverick x3 XRC ??

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Thank you, I’m actually not sure how much a primary would be. I’ve never priced one.

[@304trails8]

how do you know that you get it torqued back on correctly. I've heard it should be around 85 foot pounds. Is there a way to know what your impact will torque it back to?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Yes the Primary is 89 ft/lbs and the secondary 54 ft/lbs there is a tool you can hook between the clutches so they don’t move and you can torque them at that point. There is no true way to know for a battery impact but checking them with a torque wrench after and having a friend or two holding the clutch works as well.

[@0531lilrock]

I wrap the tail of a ratchet strap around the clutch over itself a couple times and hook it to the sway bar. Then use torque wrench.

[@randytingen]

Another fine video

[@TheCanAmCrew]

🤘🏻💯 thank you.

[@vintage30]

I know this is a old video but could you just smack the tool on top with a hammer and pop the clutch half’s apart like a skidoo snowmobile clutch vs. using the steel plate ?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

I actually tried that before building the tool. I’ve seen it work that way but I wasn’t able to get them apart.

[@pnw_bagger8915]

Great Video! Can i ask what were the signs of needed to do this service ? I just picked up a 2019 XRS Turbo R with 3100 miles on it. It seems fine just not sure if i should do it or not yet. Thanks

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Some of the signs would be a slight squealing noise like a dry bearing. Other than that it would be normal maintenance everyone 2000 miles or so to replace the slider shoes and grease the bearing. I noticed a lot when riding real dusty areas for a few hundred miles we would get a dry squeal noise and as soon as we blew the clutches out and greased the bearing it went away.

[@jasonarbour1616]

Great video. Is there a grease you'd recommend in a pinch if you don't have the correct type on hand?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Yes, I’ve heard of a few folks using NAPA sil-glide grease. Just has to be high temp resistant so it doesn’t melt and get every where.

[@Stark-f4b]

WHy didn’t you just replace the bearing

Nothing was wrong with the bearing. I’m at 9400 miles now and still on the original bearing

[@国号田]

Hello, my vehicle is now difficult to shift in the running state, need to turn off the engine to shift easily, what is the possible reason, can you help me to answer？

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Yes actually I can, your secondary is spinning and it shouldn’t be.. Most commonly happens in the the 2022 and 2023 x3 models but if you have other years it can be this too. Can am will warranty it if you have a 22 or 23. If you have previous years you will need to inspect your primary one way bearing, your belt or secondary for any issues or dirt build up. In the 22 and 23 models they change your primary weights

[@国号田]

@@TheCanAmCrew I have disassembled the clutch of model 195 in 2015, but I did not find any problem, because no parts were damaged or broken. Could you help me diagnose the problem of the vehicle according to the photos I provided?
