no experience with a cat but this has worked for me a couple times in a bind...
tip sled on side and take out clutch bolt. fill hole with water. warm would be good. put bolt back in and tighten er up. should expand the thicker part of the tapered shaft and pop off the clutch. if you cant find a puller maybe try it.

if we cant find one we might have to give that a try but its an hour and a half ride just to get to it so it would nice to have something we know would work when we get there.

Try one of the sled shops in Vale or McBride i am sure one of them would have one.

Vinnie has one in Valemount but not sure how open they are to letting stuff go out for a day. This "spider" issue seems to be getting a fair bit of news lately

If you broke your spider or any part other the the weights on a m series and if it's a 2010 it would be a 3post and no one has pulleys for them cuz the spider is also. Threaded on at 85 foot pounds of torque your only option is to pull the sled out and buy a new clutch or just buy a new clutch and go back my best friend is feeling with the same thing rite now to it's a bummer but a cat made that clutch to not be taken apart they dont rly want anyone pulling them apart so yah sorry mang

no glen it didnt. we tried it on my sled in the trailer but no dice. so lee is back on the road to see if he cant track the right one down.

newbornrider- we took everything on the clutch apart other than getting the spider off but we replacing the spider seems like way too much work on the hill, so we are trying to get a puller so we can take the clutch off my sled and take it up and put it on his.

 

[glengine]

That sucks. I thought for sure it'd work. I'll have to look into that. I will be definitely ordering some to have in stock here for sale aswell as one for myself seeing how's that one didn't work.

It was my sled that was SOL way back in Salmon lake. NeilV lended me his clutch and the Sled Den in McBride hooked us up with a puller.

glengine tried to help me out too but that damn 2010/11 M8 needed the green puller. little did we know.

Thank you to all who got me back to the trailer the tools, clutch, pullers and buddies patience... lots of people helped me out. Long day/night but we got'r.
