I would not do the ROPE A DOPE method for obvious reasons that most do not even think about. Get an Impact Wrench here is a good one a PLUG IN HOUSE HOLD outlet that puts out 230 Ft Llbs. It is 50.00 bucks but just google for their 20% coupon. Alleyoop www.harborfreight.com/12-in-electric-impact-wrench-68099.html |

I may give up on the variator removal since this won't be long term for me and I'm not planning on changing rollers or sliders.
My pneumatic impact driver at 200 psi with the variator locked could not get it to budge. It was the breaker bar that started messing it up. I don't know how many foot pounds my pneumatic driver puts out at that psi but it's pretty serious and still nothing. That nut is really on there hard!

Heat up the nut and then hit it with the impact

Some don't realize how thin and delicate a piston top can be or how easy it is to deform an aluminum one. Using an impact wrench does require proper technique too since you need to hold the variator (a gloved hand and a firm grip will work) to keep the impacts from being transmitted full force through the crankshaft to the connecting rod with its bearings and to the piston. Reinstalling you are best using a locking tool on the variator and a torque wrench set per spec although you can use a torque stick on an impact wrench if you are careful.. On my 250 the spec is 75 nm. |

I got the new clutch in today and installed it. The process went very smooth once I got the belt off by compressing the clutch spring with my hands. I have a pneumatic ratchet that makes quick work of the CVT cover (I don't tighten with it to avoid stripping). The new clutch was an identical replacement for the one I had. Got everything put back together and went for a ride. Everything is back to normal again and no vibrations. Thanks for all the help!

Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk Most pneumatic impact wrenches have a working pressure of 80 to 115 psi with my commercial impact wrench rated at 700 ft lbs (949 Newton Meters) torque at  psi.. Usually it only takes 80 or 100 Newton Meters (less than 75 ft lbs) to break loose a variator so even the battery operated ones should be able to deal with it. Most homeowners compressors can't take more than 125 to 150 psi in the tank or they will blow so what type of compressor are you running? |
