Here is my problem, my belt broke, shreded actually, so now I need to remove my varriator and clutch housing to clean them out. I have tried using a strap wrench to keep the varriator and clutch from moving while I tried to remove the nuts keeping them on, but, I just ended up breaking the strap wrenches. I know that some people use impact wrenches to remove these parts. How does this work? That is do you still need to hold the varriatior or clutch housing still when using the impact wrench. And, would this impact wrench be sufficient? www.harborfreight.com/12-volt-1-2-half-inch-emergency-impact-wrench-92349.html |

I have removed the variators on my 150 and my majesty 400 with a used air impact I got from a pawn shop. zip and its off. It is way safer than trying to hold them with all kinds of cockamini wrenchs, bars etc. Just check through all the past threads about broken fins knuckles etc. as far as I am concerned it is the only way for on and off. john

Be prepared my electric Impact wouldn't touch my variator nut. I own a pneumatic impact but was afraid to use it for fear of snapping something. Thankfully it didnt and it worked So if they are still factory you might need something with a little more umph the first time. Good luck!!

The 18 volt battery one would not work for me the one from harbor freight for about 60 bucks works great

Both nuts are a standard thread on a GY6. The starter clutch nut is a reversed thread.
