Thanks for the link to the tool.

I'll check to see if the one way bearing is installed correctly.

Can anyone verify if that's the right nut shown in the picture? I'm wondering if my dealer did this right.
The dealer told me there was a recall and that nut needed to be replaced with one with the right thickness?

As for using an impact to remove the clutch, I think the manual warns against this, I could be wrong, I'm going to buy the tool anyway.

The ONE thing I regret in buying this machine is that it's tough to get critical details when something's not right.
I don't trust my dealer and I feel like I'm on my own.

Thanks for your help with this.

Theplowman88,
Here's an up close photo of the bolt and nut combo, I'm not sure what I'm looking at, maybe no washer under the nut?

Do you have any trouble with your belt dragging or lots of dust under the clutch cover?
Tom

I checked with a feeler gauge and it looks like there's a washer between the bolt head and nut, also between the nut and the clutch face, you can't see them because their OD is less than the OD of the nut and bolt. I hesitate to run that bolt out because I don't have the tool to lock the clutch basket.
I can feel the bearing spinning freely and I don't see any wear in any one spot on the belt.

I've seen youtube videos of people using an impact to remove that bolt, but I see a mention in the manual not to use an impact?

Hey guys, I've looked at the manual and searched the web and can't figure this out.
I've got a 2018 1000 that I brought to the dealer back when it was new for a clutch "recall". They told me my clutch needed a spacer installed that fixed some sort of a problem. I wasn't really having any problems with my clutch at the time, the usual "clunk" if you hit the gas too hard, but it was fine.
Lately I've been having issues changing gears because the clutch is dragging; I also get a burning rubber smell too.
I've looked inside once before and noticed a lot of dust, after blowing it out everything is great...for awhile.
I'm back into it and there's more dust.
Most people would say "hey, bring it back to your dealer", but I have NO confidence in them, I've got stories and I'd rather not get into it.

Anyway, the manual shows something different to what I see, the bolt, nut and washer arrangement seems wrong, can someone who been inside their 1000 comment on this photo? any help with this problem would be appreciated! Thanks.
Tom

I contacted my dealer again and they told me their sales guy was wrong about the recall? My dealer has done some pretty stupid things in the past and I hesitate to let them service it.

Where can I get solid information on this? Is there a list published anywhere?

Thanks for the help

My dealer called me and left a message that my 2018 Zforce 1000 needed to be brought in for an ECM re-flash, he said the problem could lead to the engine stumbling and eventually leave me stranded. He said it takes a week for the turn around.

Has anyone heard of this?
Tom
