As there was a request for a trike forum at SD, and there was insufficient support from the moderators over there. We are welcoming the trike riders here and providing a place for them to discuss their scooter trikes.
Welcome Guys.

I have an ice bear trike, and can't seem to find a thread that lists my problem. I am trying to install a new clutch , but can't get the nut off. I have tried the impact wrench, but didn't work. The I got out my 2 jaw puller and my ratchet, that didn't work. I used a little heat on the nut. When I used the ratchet it slipped off with a 12 point socket. My six point socket still fits on the nut snugly, but it is deep well and there is not enough room between the puller and nut. I thought about trying to cut the nut on an angle with a hacksaw and gently try to split it off the shaft. Any help out there. has anyone had this problem? HELP PLEASE

Good question, I have never touched a trike, I would hold off on the hack saw idea. Give me some time to get somebody I know who can help you to c9me in and tell you how.

OK I found a Post by one of our members (Rapidjim), pretty sure he will not mind me reposting it here Next remove the pull start and the CTV cover exposing the clutch and variator. Now remove the nut holding the variator outer shell on. An impact wrench will make this a lot easier, if you do not have one, you will need a strap wrench or similar to hold the variator from moving while you remove the nut. Once the nut is off you can slide the belt off. i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt174/rapidjim/DSC00889.jpgNow you can remove the rear portion of the variator by reaching behind it and pulling it off. Be careful not to allow the rear plate to fall off and drop your rollers (sliders) all over the floor. Now you can remove the nut holding the clutch bell in place. Once again, an impact wrench makes this an easy task. This will expose the clutch which can now be taken off. The next two pictures show the differences between the OEM clutch and the Performance clutch. The first picture you will notice how much longer the friction pads are. More material to engage the bell This picture shows the differences in the bells. Notice how much larger and the different shape the cooling holes are on the performance bell. This is one area we had some problems with after reassembly and testing. The performance clutch required a lot more RPMs to engage due to the contra spring that was used. I wound up taking the performance clutch off and using the OEM clutch for break in. If I am not mistaken, Lefty has gotten the clutch issues taken care of.rs. i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt174/raNext we removed the final drive cover and the drive geapidjim/DSC00880.jpg[/img] the rest of the post was changing gears so I didn't copy it. you should not need to cut the nut and split it, an impact wrench, electric or pneumatic would be very helpful and a tool to hold the clutch and keep it from turning would be what you need, I call it a strap wrench but n.ot really sure of the correct name

Which nut. The one that holds the bell and everything on the shaft. Even with an impact I have had to use a strap wrench to hold the clutch bell. These are often single use nuts they are crushed down on the outer end.
Or are you talking about the nut that holds the clutch to the pully. This is best that you compress the contra spring inside. I like to gently us a vise
