Hi Guys - I used to be a member of Schootdawg but haven't been on in a long time. I have a Kymco (2006) and want to change the belt. I have the cover off the scoot and the variator is off also. Now I want to remove the belt to change it out and can't seem to get the clutch off to allow the belt to slip off. It seems to be too tight around the clutch to allow the belt just sliding it over the top of the clutch. So, I have tried and again with my air wrench can't seem to get the nut off. Is the nut on my Kymco a regular right hand thread? the variator is a right hand thread and come right off. I appreciate the help in advance - Thanks - Scooterike

If you took the variator off, you should be able to get the belt off, first of all. You should be able to put your palm on the front of the clutch, and grab the half of the pulley closest to the front, and squeeze. That will open the clutch, and the belt should come right out. Then, to put the belt back on, you squeeze the clutch open, and push the belt all the way down in the clutch, and it will go right over the front variator boss. You can actually change belts this way without removing the front, or rear clutch nut.
To answer your question, that nut is a regular, right hand thread. They can be put on there pretty tight by the factory. You should be able to get the belt off without removing it, though. You can change the belt without taking off a single nut.
