AJK Offroad Can-Am Maverick / Defender / Commander Heavy-Duty Primary Clutch Puller Tool
Servicing your Can-Am UTV’s primary clutch, changing governor cup springs, or performing routine CVT clutch maintenance requires the right tool for the job. Attempting to force off a tight, tapered primary clutch using improper hardware, pry bars, or cheap bolts can easily warp aluminum clutch sheaves, crack castings, or ruin expensive crankshaft threads. The AJK Offroad Heavy-Duty Can-Am Primary Clutch Puller Tool is a precision-engineered shop tool designed to safely and effortlessly pop your primary drive clutch free from the tapered crankshaft.
Precision CNC-machined in the USA from ultra-durable, heat-treated alloy steel, this heavy-duty puller bolt features high-grade threads engineered to handle high torque loads without stripping or bending. Its hardened nose tip resists mushrooming under heavy pressing force, ensuring clean thread engagement and smooth clutch removal even on high-mileage machines with stubborn clutch tapers.
Finished with a protective coating to prevent rust, binding, and thread galling, this essential mechanic's tool is a must-have accessory for every Can-Am owner’s garage toolbox or trail recovery pack.
Features
- Heat-Treated Alloy Steel Construction: Precision CNC-machined from high-tensile alloy steel and heat-treated for maximum durability under heavy torque loads.
- Safe & Damage-Free Removal: Safely pops the primary drive clutch off the tapered crankshaft without marring sensitive crankshaft threads or aluminum sheaves.
- Hardened Tip Design: Specially hardened nose tip resists deformation and mushrooming when applying high pressure against the crankshaft nose.
- Corrosion-Resistant Coating: Protective finish guards against rust, binding, and thread wear over years of heavy shop use.
- Essential Maintenance Tool: Required for clutch tuning, spring and weight adjustments, seal replacements, and complete CVT drive system overhauls.
- Made in the USA: Proudly designed, engineered, and precision-machined in the USA for dependable off-road service.
Design and Functionality
Can-Am primary clutches sit on a tight friction-tapered crankshaft interface that seals tighter over time through intense thermal cycles and engine RPMs. AJK Offroad’s primary clutch puller utilizes precision-cut threads and high-strength metallurgy to apply massive, centered axial force, cleanly breaking the tapered press-fit bond without binding or galling threads.
Installation and Usage Tips
Thread the primary clutch puller by hand into the center thread of your primary clutch after removing the factory retaining bolt. Using a socket or breaker bar, turn the puller tool clockwise until it bottoms out against the crankshaft, then apply steady pressure until the clutch pops free from the taper. Tip: Apply a small amount of grease to the tip and threads of the tool before use for smoother operation and prolonged tool life.
Why It Stands Out
Using cheap, low-grade clutch pullers can lead to snapped steel bolts stuck inside your engine's crankshaft. AJK Offroad delivers a rugged, American-made puller built to handle stubborn Can-Am clutches time and time again without fail.
