live on the creek in fl can am spent 2 weeks under flood water.
un swamped it and now it starts and runs, but the primary clutch does not close up and engage belt.
i think it is rusted open, but i can not get the left handed bolt out to remove clutch. wd 40 will not get to the threads at a 45 degree angle.
have tried 2 different size powerful impacts no help.
q how can i get this bolt out?
thanks

What model machine? Only the 1 cylinder models have a left hand thread clutch bolt.

You get better impact with high pitch and Quick gun.

By his username I am guessing he has a 400.

hi all
it is a 08 out-lander 400 auto.
the impact i used was a rigid battery, and a electric heavy duty.
i am guessing the treads are rusted as there was a lot of torque in the electric one.
i thought about using a breaker bar, but fear breaking off the bolt, and do not have a clutch holder.
thanks to all of those who responded.

I lived many years in the north Florida area and witnessed the aftermath of motorcycles and other utility vehicles after being submerged in sea water.

They were all total losses.
