Yes. That variator backplate can get stuck. It's ordinary that metal can deform when tighten. Heat of the system does the rest.
Just use rubberhammer or something similar to tap it to move. Use soft force. Or screwdriver behind the backplate to nutch it.

The back plate seems ok. It's to metal cylinder that seems to be stuck.
My rear clutch is awfully hard to work with too. I'm going to swap that out as soon as I can.

Your bushing is stuck on your crankshaft? If I am understanding this is your problem you could gently heat the bushing with a small torch being careful not to heat the crank. It will not take much, then use some soft jawed pliers or a rag on your hand to remove it. You only want to heat it enough to expand the cylinder. Then, once it is off, clean out the cylinder I.D. very well and also, the crankshaft surfaces. Once clean, I would use a very good metal polish to make everything shine up and slip around easily. Be sure to remove all of the polish when done or it can cook and stick things up again. Bill |

The metal cylinder is called the "drive boss". I would try using some heat(preferably from a heat gun)to see if you can get the boss to expand and slide off. Wouldn't hurt to oil the splines on the crankshaft too. I wish my scooter troubles were this simple. |

I have a picture but I don't see the "add image button" anymore Your belt looks a bit frayed on the edge we can see. Might not be a bad idea to replace it and keep it for an emergency spare while you are inside the cvt case. Bill |

I've got a spare belt so I'll use that. I suppose it's the result of the high pitched "whirrr" I heard.
Thanks for the tips folks.
Next question. My clutch is hard to manipulate when trying to loosen the belt. I can't squeeze it at all. I'm likely going to swap it out with the one off the broken engine but what would make it so stiff, could it rust?
Besides using my impact wrench is there another way to remove the nut on the clutch bell? I don't have the right size impact socket and I'm not going to make it to HF this weekend

Besides using my impact wrench is there another way to remove the nut on the clutch bell? I don't have the right size impact socket and I'm not going to make it to HF this weekend Brent, our host, shows in one of his videos how you can use an oil filter wrench, or, one of those strap wrenches to hold the clutch bell. If nothing else, you could wrap a belt or strap around the outside of the bell, then take a hammer and smack your socket wrench handle to shock it a few times. It should then come right off. Normally, when a clutch is old and the contra spring has been exposed to a lot of heat for a long time, the spring is weak and you can easily pull it open to change your belt. Mine was like that. Then, I put on a new clutch and later decided to swap belts...wow...I could barely squeeze it to make it move. But, that is a good thing as the cvt was really working well. In your case, if the clutch is not new, you just may need to lubricate the inside sliding surfaces. I think Brent has a video on this as well. There are some curved slots and pins that move in them and, a little lubrication there might help things along. But, the good news is, a new clutch is about $25 shipped! If your clutch has more than a few thousand miles on it...I would spring for a new one...BUT, save the old one too. Bill |
