In this video you see our owner Andy do a clutch and P-Drive replacement on a Can-Am 2023 X3 Turbo. This blog is just lining out the steps for everyone to follow along appropriately.
- Take clutch out of machine
- Take the 6 aligning bolts out and set aside for later, the clutch will drop down
- Separate the dropped clutch from the plates using designated tool from Can-Am
- Once separated, take a mallet/sledge and bang on about 3-5 times
- Take the now separated clutch and put aside, inspect needle bearings and bolts on the bottom portion
- If needed, take apart the needle bearings and washers in exact order as they are placed in, inspect for damages and use
- Replace all parts in the bearings and use new plastic washers
- Take an emery cloth and buff the plate, it sits next to the belt so it may look worn
- Go back to clutch- replace weights and the black plastic washers, replace the washers and test the spin plates
- Unscrew all the screws holding in the mechanism on every side other than wights, it’s the two small bolts sticking straight up.
- Replace bushings under the bolts, ensure the small edge is close to the inner most bolt
- Replace those bolts and line everything up under it appropriately.
- Do final inspections for cracks, rusted pieces etc. Always ensure safety and cleanliness with your rigs!
