Looking at your picture the weights are sideways in the variator and keeping the variator OUT and not retracting to open the variator to drop the belt down.
So yes Variator has to come off no ifs or buts about it.
They gave you some good ways to take the nut off. If still you can't do it roll it to a garage they will take it off for you. But you will need a new nut, I would suggest order a couple you never know.

Irwin Bolt Grip (or similar knock-offs) work a champ on rounded nuts/bolts.   There are similar versions with straight 'teeth' that you hammer onto the bolt, but I prefer the kind that *don't* leave the tool attached if you can't break the nut free.

Well you will have to take the VARIATOR off, some of the weights probably CAME out fell out when you took the CVT over off. Also any weights in there are probably laying on there side and not in the ramps correctly. Standing still the belt should be down in the Variator and on top on the Clutch pulley: Alleyoop  is tha a pull start. |

If you do mess up the threads I think you can tap -n- dye it, not sure though. |

Rae4180,
If you get the pull start working on your 50, take pictures and write up a how-to and I will move it to the tech section so others may possibly do the same. Since the kickstarts always seem to break.

I have yet to have that wrench fail me. It works on smooth pipes! How could it not bite? It has no choice but to bite in the direction you pull.

When using an impact wrench, always use a 6 point impact socket. Regular sockets will split, 12 point sockets will round off the nut or bolt if it's really on tight.
Sometimes I'll use an inch size socket or wrench on a metric fastener ( or vice versa ) if there's one that fits tighter. 13mm is close to 1/2 inch. 14mm is close to 9/16. and there are others.
To get off a rounded off nut, sometimes you can get by by grinding off the entry radius on a 6 point socket, then tapping it fully down with a hammer. Usually it's just the outer half that rounds off due to a loose fitting large entry radius 12 point socket or wrench.
One way I've used to get off rounded off nuts is to grind opposing sides until just barely into the tips of the threads all the way across the nut, then take a chisel to the thicker part of the nut and beat on it in the direction that unscrews it, the nut will spread apart enough to unscrew if it doesn't split in two.
