Just as the title says, I'm just re-installing the clutches and need to know how to hold them to torque?

Thanks

Well i made my own tools for holding the clutch's,you don't want to break anything by using prybars and stuff.Here are some pics of my home made tools..the top one is primary and bottom is secondary

If you don't have access to make any then you can wedge wood against the clutch's and frame to help hold them.

I just push it with both hands and hold it against the housing behind it with one one hand then I get the bolt started. Its a bitch haha i messed around trying to get it back in by myself for like 45 mins. In this video the guy makes it look super easy and thats why I thought I could do it too:


I would personally buy the tools from BRP if I was to do it again, I watched the mechanic do it yesterday with the tools and it's a piece of cake with them. If not get a second person to help you, the primary is easy to put back in because you only have to line up the shaft, the secondary is a bitch because the helix wants to pop out from the shaft and you have to line up the peaks of it in the voids behind the clutch. Anyways good luck!

I went to torque my secondary at 44 ft lbs and then ran it in neutral. When i went to re torque it was off by about a quarter turn on the torque wrench i tried this 10 or so times and it still is always under torque by various amounts. Any ideas on what the problem is?

I just reinstalled my secondary. In gear with brake on and a friend holding it, I got'er torqued.

Installed the primary with no problem with a friend holding and me torquing. When she gets tight, its small turns until you hit the mark.
