Primary Clutch Torque Specs

[Wilk INStheWEST]

I have a 2012 Pro 800, and I just changed out the weights in my primary to the MDS adjustable weights. Putting everything back together, and I realize I don't have the torque specs for the primary cap bolts (6 of them) and the main primary spring bolt. Does anyone know what they should be torqued back down to?
Thanks in advance.

Clutch cover bolts are 8 ft lbs. I'm not sure about the main bolt; usually they are in the 45-65 ft lb range.

The main bolt is torqued to 80 ft lb

Clean crank and clutch with brake cleaner, torque to 80 ft lb, run and engage a few times, retorque and repeat until it doesn't take anymore torque. Clutch will come off nice and easy the next time you need it to following these steps.

Is there any reason I couldn’t shove a pry bar in through the spider to torque it?
I’m ordered a primary holder from slamazon but hasn’t come in yet

Sled I’m working on is a 20 axys 800

Bar or wooden hammer handle will work

Take a old sled belt clamp it to the clutch with vice grip do not use an impact wrench to take off or put on

does using an impact to rattle the clutch off cause damage?

Broom handle works really good too.

I've never been a fan of using an impact on clutch pullers. By hand you can feel what's going on better. If it's not coming off with the puller you can cut the puller (it's probably bent if you had a really bad one) and just do the water trick.

water trick works good. before the waster trick i always put grease on the end of the puller and on the threads. almost works every time.
