Broke clutch. couple questions

[Gone Sleddin]

Went to pull the clutch off my woman's 08 700 today and this is all that came off...

So my 2 questions are:
1. How do I get the back half off of the crank stub?
2. Will some simple gorilla glue hold it back together good enough or should I mix up a little jb weld and slap on 'er???

Thanks for any input

clutch is history,i would cut it off with a die grinder and cutting wheel be careful not to cut into crank,cases or seal,good luck and be careful

I second cautious grinding. With no way to attach a puller you will need to relieve the pressure on the taper to get it off. Due to the geometry the best way to accomplish this is going to be a tangent grind following the angle of the taper, staying just above the taper and watch for the wheel to show up as it comes through and stop before contacting the seal. They make very good grinding discs for this sort of thing now, "Razorblades" they come in a variety of thicknesses, my choice would be the 0.035" thick discs for the 4 1/2" grinder. the thinner ones wander too much and the thicker ones will take too long and put undo heat into the crank case and seal. You could also try breaking the aluminum sheeve off and grabbing it with a gear puller. It may help to remove a portion just to see the backside better to do the grinding.

Since you are obviously familiar with Gorrila Glue then you are already more advanced than the previous 2 posts give you credit for.

So the solution it straight forward and deceptively easy. Get 126.4 feet of double braided poly weave rope. Tie one end around the clutch and be sure to secure with a bolin knot. Tie the othe end to your hitch on your favorite tow vehicle. IMPORTANT NOTE: At this point you must make sure you rope measure exactly 125 feet (126.4 allowed for the knots).

Now the next step is very important. Have your mother in law hold the front bumper as to stay away from the rope, safety first, and be prepared to wave hand indicating the clutch sheve poped off as expected. Now you accelerate away from the snowmobile at full throttle and do not slow down until your mother in law gives you the signal that you have been successful.

The next step is obvious.

P.S make a video for educational reasons and post it up.

That is funny, how funny depends on the mother in law. Vid would be awesome. I guess I took his request too seriously, but in the long run probably more helpful information.

Think I remember that move when I was a kid but a door and tooth????

But we do dismount tires from Mobile Cranes that way. Forklift under the tire chain around top kinda loose and back up, FAST!!! Second attempt might need more rope.. better get mo-law a blowhorn...

I have never been so confused in my life...


Why would you need gorilla glue? That is overkill. Just grab your kids elmers glue that they use at school and slap some of that on there...good to go!

It is only a 700 after all...

 

[RED BARRON]

have your mother in law hold the other half of the clutch in place while you take a couple swings with a big sledge and fuse it back together. dont forget safety glasses!

I feel remiss in my safety briefing. I simply said safety first.

I should have realized the mother in law is probably not Garage Logic Certified and I should have mentioned the safety glasses for her.

so Good he posted it twice!

 

[Gone Sleddin]

Well the (future) mother-in-law was no help. I threw a gear puller on it and that cracked the sheave. going at it with a cutting wheel after lunch.

Any idea what would cause this in the first place? just bought the sled last last winter, pry has a couple hundred miles on since we got it and im pretty sure it must have been this way when we got it.

Don't know that this applies to 700s, but when my 800 broke its crank, I was told that 800s break clutches because Polaris changed the taper and thinned th clutch shaft. They could have left in place something that worked for many years, but no, it had to be improved. Or else, Polaris wanted to stop the long chain of interchange from year to year and engine to engine.

 

[Gone Sleddin]

Well it took a dremel with 2 heavy duty blades and 2 reinforced blades, a vice grip, 2 screw drivers, a hammer and about 2 hours and this is what I ended up with

Got a couple small nicks in the crank stub from the cutting but I think they will clean up ok. Now I need to wire up the electric start with the new clutch.

Whew...!!!! Mom in law going to be there for wedding???

But seriousally I never knew the taper was pressed into the clutch.

It's the ludicris torque specs , for some reason they went from 200 ftlbs on the spider to 280-300 and they bumped the jam nut from 235 to 280-300 ftlbs. How much torque does it take to weaken the integrity of the metal not to mention what does a tear down do to it after yanking on it with a cheater bar ? Nice job on improving a grenade .
