belt removal tool

[yooperguy]

I lost the "L" shaped tool. Anyone know the thread size so I can just get one at the hardware store? Also, has anyone every bought a clutch puller? If so, any info would be appreciated. I'm talking about a 2018 800 Assault 144. Thanks.

It is 1/4" course thread. You can buy a longer bolt, heat and bend a 90 in it so it looks like the one you lost. It is important to grind the first 1/4" of threads off the end that bottoms out inside the clutch. If you don't grind the threads off the end it will mushroom out and ruin the threads in your clutch when you take it out. Buy a puller from Dennis Kirk, enter your exact model (in the "garage") and it will show which one you need.
