1999 Kawasaki Mule 2500 Primary Clutch Dissassembly


Mikey

Recommended Posts

I am trying to dissassemble my  primarty clutch. I removed the obvious bolts and separated the main mechanisim cover from the body of the clutch but I cannot see how to separate the thin sheave from the body of the clutch. I am guessing it is threaded to the splined shaft. Not sure if it is a right hand or a left hand thread.  Anybody have a source for dissassembly instructions?   I already tried Youtube with no results.

Many thanks, Mike

I believe its 59302 in the bottom right corner, appears to be splined. I took mine apart awhile back and my manual explained it very clearly. Though our two drive clutches are designed differently .

But i think you're next best bet is going  to be a service manual  https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=mule+2500+service+manual&_sacat=0

@Travis Many thanks for the quick reply.  I am dissassembling a used and "supposedly" good clutch. Mine looks exactly like the exploded view you sent. I did check my manual as you suggested and I don't see the 2 pieces of 92022 split ring in my clutch making me think that maybe they are missing. However my spider (49050) seems frozen to the thin sheave shaft (59302).  I sprayed the spline well with penetrating oil and hit it pretty hard with a hammer but the splined shaft will not budge from the spider.  I hate to ruin the clutch as they are quite expensive and I was happy to get this "working" clutch on a bad engine I bought last week to rebuild just to have a spare for my mule.  Any other ideas?   Do you recall removing you split ring and have any advice there. I wonder if the split ring could be jammed inside the spline? Here is a close up pic of the position between my spider and the splined shaft of the thin sheave. They are locked fast together and I see no evidence of a split ring?????

@Travis Hi Travis,  Many thanks but I put it in a big press and finally got it to come apart. The spline connection was  really corroded from sitting I think outside in the rain. The split ring is there but on the other side of the spider. i have a lot of cleaning to do but I think it will be a good clutch when I am done.  Many thanks for the help once again!

      So I've got a Hisun 550 that I was doing some work on that required removing the CVT and it's housing. Upon attempting to reinstall the clutch, sheaves, etc, I found that the belt no longer fits - it's far too wide. None of the parts have been replaced, they're all OEM. Exactly the same parts as what I took off a few weeks ago.
      To be more specific, my belt is 1.25in wide, but the gap between the clutch and the primary sheave is only 7/8in wide. I'll include a few photos to explain.
      Has anyone ever experienced such a bizarre problem? Any help at all would be appreciated, I've been stuck on this for a month. I'm open to just about any suggestion.

      Was driving the buggy-1100 when gradually it quit running. No water in oil smells like Burt clutch.you can hear the starter spinning but it won’t fire up…sounds like the starter will spin but not engaging. Engine smoked but no notable mechanical sounds

      Does anyone know which JBS Clutch kit will work on the Hisun 700. I talked to JBS and he said he knows they sell them to Hisun owners and the 660 kits will fit the 700 but he's not sure which items in the kit Hisun owners have had success with. Not sure if there are any other Hisun forums where I could find this information.
      Anyone here used a JBS kit for a Hisun?
      Thanks
