Hey folks there isn't very detailed info in the electronic manual so I need any tips you can give me for replacing the inner clutch basket. What is the best way to remove the large nut and torque the basket as it wants to spin. Is there orientation that needs to be followed with the basket and if so what points am I looking for? pictures would be great. Thanks!
 
you need to flatten out the lock washer first, then after you do this, holding the inner basket using good gloves or a rag and zapping the nut off with an impact is the easiest way.

another way to do it is to take a strap wrench and hold that inner hub while you use a ratchet to loosen the nut.


OR buy the special clutch holder tool that doubles as a flywheel holder, here's one like mine:
Tusk Clutch Holding Tool | Rocky Mountain ATV/MC
 
You could use an impact wrench....Then you can hold it by hand. You can use it to put back on but you won't know the right torque. If your worried about the right torque. Maybe you can mark it before you take it off then just use the impact to you get to that mark when putting it back on..
