It would be similar to the tool I made here to open Poo secondary clutches which have hi-tension torsion springs installed. Made on 1 of my Rotary tables and my mill. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking Arctic Cat fucking their customers with over-complicating the simplest of fasteners. Arctic Cat: "Lets put on some hokey fasteners and then charge the customer $240 for a wrench to take them off and on! And they'll gladly pay it because arctic cat loyals are fucking dumb! (sinister laugh)" Arctic Cat Buyer: "Just go to the hardware store and buy a 17mm nut for $.12" Arctic Cat: "Damn!" really this from a guy who thought skidoo was gods gift. go look on a mirror . pretty sure that tool came with the sled I know I have one and have never bought one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Hey Jimmy, Pretty sure these are what I used. Took me a while to figure it out and find the receipt.

hayward Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I just used a punch and chisel to undo/retighten mine. On both sleds. Nice soft aluminum, I think i'll get by with the same procedure for at least one more time..... Seriously a freshman ffa class could have come up with a better idea than that....like the old fashioned way of doing it like its been done on sleds for generations.....a nut and washer. I hope they shit-canned that cat engineer who had that idea, and he/she went to work in Valcourt.....poor Analer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted February 12, 2018 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 12, 2018 So I’m standing at the back of the sled facing forward...which fucking side is the axle nut on that is supposed to come lose and yeah that chintzy pos wrench from AC is fucking useless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right side if you are on it or behind it..ughhh...facing toward the front. Good luck! Heat may be your friend or, use some type of chisel or other to bash it loose. Wouldn't worry too much about that stupid "flowerette" getting fucked up. Who cares. 20 minutes ago, Jimmy Snacks said: Also what is stock clutch engagement on these SP 500’s? Well, racers are gonna engage high. Mine sits around 5-5200. I'd guess your's will be in the 44-4600 range. You'll get used to it. It just feels really weird at first, especially when it is cold. I clutched my last 800 the same. HOLD ON!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOLD ON!!!! Yup, it's only aluminum. Chisel the bitch loose and go with the Zamboni fix. I think he's right, too, about the 44-4600 engagement. My kid hates it like that, but I havn't gotten a chance to research on what to change to lower it and not lose peak rpm. So, he HOLD'S ON!!!!!1111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Also, @Jimmy Snacks I'm gonna point out the obvious but...just in case, get a 3/8" wratchet in that square of the tool, then push on the tool in the "flowerette" and try it. It'll probably just bend up the tool teeth like mine did...straighten and redo..with heat....repeat. Honestly, I laughed my ass off when I was doing mine...I mean, cuz WUT??? I took the skid out and removed the axle out to put it in a vice to get the other side off. 14 minutes ago, hayward said: Yup, it's only aluminum. Chisel the bitch loose and go with the Zamboni fix.

I think dropping 2-400 r's wouldn't hurt though.I'm probably gonna go down a spring and put some Goldstar tuneable weights in it this summer.

He rode my 720 around the farm last week for the first time and said he likes how that takes off, nice and smoooooth. Wonders why it is that way and why it seems to have so much more power than his?

I thought it would be cool and fun. Yep. Cheating death is cool and FUN...but not for an extended period. It was just insane. I sold the primary and secondary set the way it was to a drag racer.

You can actually look like a real poser in that shell with that sled. Nobody will fuck with ya! I think I posted the pic but I fucked up my little aluminum flower really good...Put some head on it. When I put heat on the left side that was blue loctited from the factory, it was tough but eventually came off. But the other without heat yeah...it became MY PASSION to rip that POS off of there!
