Again thank you all i joined another group and was not treated as nice as you but dan50 where did you get that tool have been looking but cant seam to find also any sites that are good for parts and tools would be great i know a little about engines but this clutch is all new to me thanks 4 stroke Variator locking ( the 2 stroke is different) tool on Ebay; www.ebay.com/itm/Variator-Holding-Locking-Tool-for-GY6-139QMB-50-100-Scooter-Moped-Variator-/272281016924?hash=item3f65369a5c:g:PekAAOSwepJXaP0X&vxp=mtrThis one will fit your motor and is cheap for what it does. For the clutch, I use 3 - 12" long clamps with the rubber ends. The contra spring is under a lot of pressure and if you don't contain it, it will go through the ceiling (maybe). To open the clutch, use all 3 clamps, about 1/3 the way around the clutch, loosen & remove the nut, then back the clamps off taking turn a little at a time until you feel the pressure is off the spring. To install, line up the clutch cover with the bottom 1/2 (there is a flat side to line up), then squeeze the clamps in turn to bring the cover down so you can install & tighten the nut. For a scooter, you don't need very many special tools. The other tool I can think of is a flywheel puller (in case you need to change the stator); www.ebay.com/itm/221549606858Scooters are easy to work on, take your time and it's a lot easier than you think. Glad I can help, Dan50 dan50 thats a great idea on using the clamps putting the clutch back together. ive struggled with it too many times. it hard to fit size 12 wide boots on the edges of the clutch and still be able to get a hand in to start the nut lol |

Thank you I've worked on cars and 4 wheelers but this clutch is new to me again thanks i would like to make an assumption that you're from maine based on your avatar picture. I don't know if you have a family member or friends who have a snowmobile, but you could ask them to check out their Continuously Variable Transmission (cvt) and ask them how those work too. Its a very similar setup, the only difference is you really can't see much of it or how it works within the scooter, but you do get a pretty neat overhead view on a snowmobile. Come to think of it, i bet you could find youtube vids of snowmobile cvts in operation... |

Do some reading and watch some videos in the Tech Section, Take your time the first time you tear something apart noting how everything goes together and you'll be a pro in no time.
Many great videos on CVT's in the Tech Section.

Pictures are real good to take during disassembly.

Great point FrankenMech. That was a habit I learned when tearing down classic cars to restore them. That way you can see the orientation of brackets, routing of wires and more. Also, keep the components in separate Zip-Lock bags with all the nuts and bolts for each assembly. That way you don't misplace the hardware and you know which ones go back where.
