Not sure if anyone else has had this problem….Yesterday I was pulling the clutch on a 2014 XP1000. The clutch was being very resistive but I finally heard a pop. However, the clutch hadn’t released. I cranked down some more on the puller with no success. At this point I decided to back the puller out. What I found was that the puller had snapped off about 7 inches down the shaft.

I used a magnet to try to retrieve the broken half but only got some shards. It appears that the portion left in the clutch had expanded and is now tightly wedged inside the center of the clutch, just before it flares.

I’m checking here to see if anyone else has experienced this problem and how they remedied it.

And yes, it was the correct puller for the clutch.

Thanks for any help.
